　　【鏈接】像danger一樣，還有些抽象名詞可表示具體化的事物。如：surprise，cold，pleasure，pity，failure，success， worry，honour， experience，must，difficulty，youth，beauty，wonder，interest等；但也有些抽象名詞即使沒有形容詞修飾也不能具體化，如：fun，advice，information，health，progress，wealth，news，weather等。如：① The experiment has turned out a success. 實驗終于成功了。② Many people agree that a knowledge of English is a must in international trade today. 許多人贊成當今國際貿易中英語知識是不可缺少的東西。

　　【拓展】reduce還可意為“使成為(多用于被動語態且與to連用)；使處于某種狀態(須與to連用)”。如：① The bomb reduced the city to ruins. 炸彈使得該城鎮化為廢墟。② The house was reduced to ashes. 房子被燒成了灰燼。③ He managed to reduced the group of children to silence. 他設法使這些孩子靜了下來。④In the old society he was reduced to begging. 在舊社會他被逼得討飯。
