1.sink的基本意思是“下沉”,指漸漸下降地運動,尤指物體在空氣或水中垂直下降,常指降至于地平面或水平面之下,即全部“浸沒”。引申可表示“(日、月等)落下”“(頭、目光等)下垂”“衰退”“(地面,建筑物等)下陷”“挖掘(井等)”“埋下”“(價格)降低”“(聲音、火、風(fēng)等)降低”等。引申用法中強調(diào)緩慢、漸漸地下落,而不含或少含有“浸沒”意味。2.sink既可用作及物動詞,也可用作不及物動詞。用作及物動詞時接名詞、代詞作賓語?？捎糜诒粍咏Y(jié)構(gòu)。3.sink作“下沉”解時不行以同down連用,作“落下”解時可以同down連用,表示“降到下一層的水平位置上”?！ぴ~匯搭配
