charge

音标发音

charge的基本意思是“装载”“填充”直到满负荷,由此产生许多新义,如“使充满”“命令”“使承担”“冲锋”“收费”等,美语中还可表示“控告”。本词强调所加的负担超出接受能力,故含有劳累、负担过重或被压倒的意味。
charge用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语。作“控告”解时,可以接that引导的从句。作“收费”解时，可以接双宾语，可用于被动结构；表示“价格贵”或“收费贵”时,不能说charge expensively,而用too much或heavily等修饰。
charge用作不及物动词时,常接for表示“收…的费”,接down表示“冲锋”。

charge作“负责,管理”解时,是不可数名词; 作“指责,指控,控告”解时,是可数名词,且后可接that从句作同位语; 作“收费,要价”解时,主要指因某种服务而索取的费用,是可数名词。
in charge of表示“某人负责或照管某人〔物〕”; in the charge of则表示“某人〔物〕由某人负责或照管”。
charge表示控诉时，常表示为charge sb with sth，表示因某事控诉某人，如charge Jack with murder（控诉杰克谋杀）；
accuse也表示控告某人某事，但是与介词of连用，如accuse Jack of murder；
