succeed,success,successful的区别和用法
一、succeed的用法
◆他的计划成功了。
误：His plan was succeeded.
正：His plan succeeded.
析：succeed 表示“成功”，是不及物动词，因此不能用于被动语态。
◆他终于把那个问题解决了。
误：At last he succeeded to solve the problem.
正：At last he succeeded in solving the problem.
析：表示做某事做成功了，succeed 后通常不接不定式，而接 indoing sth。又如：He succeeded ingetting the job.(他谋到了那份工作)，She succeeded in (passing) theexam.(她考试及格了)。注：有时此结构可用作反语，如：I tried toclean the watch, but onlysucceeded in breaking it.(我想把表弄干净，结果却弄坏了)。
◆继邱吉尔出任首相的是谁?
误：Who succeeded after Churchill as Prime Minister?
正：Who succeeded Churchill as Prime Minister?
析：succeed 表示“接替(某人)”，是及物动词，其后无需用介词after。但它若表示“继承(职位、头衔、财产等)”，则是不及物的，后跟宾语时带介词 to(此时也不用 after)，如：Shesucceeded to the mayoralty.(她继任市长职位)，比较：She succeeded him to themayoralty.(她接替他担任市长)。
