该词组的核心含义是“使某物开始被使用”。本义指将具体的工具、设备、建筑等投入实际使用,如“The new factory was put into use last month.”。引申义可指抽象事物,如规则、方法、知识等被实施或应用,例如“The new policy will be put into use next year.”。进一步引申,还可表示“利用”某人的才能或资源,如“We should put his experience into use.”。各义项均围绕“从闲置或未用状态转为实际应用”这一中心。
该词组在正式和非正式场合均常见。在新闻报道中,常描述基础设施或新系统启用,如“The high-speed railway was put into use in 2021.”,语气客观。在商务邮件或技术文档中,用于说明新软件或流程上线,如“The updated software will be put into use next week.”,语气专业。日常口语中较少使用,但可听到“When will the new machine be put into use?”,语气较随意。法律文本中可能出现在合同条款,如“The equipment shall be put into use upon delivery.”,语气正式严谨。
语法要点
该词组是及物动词短语,后需接宾语,但常以被动语态出现,即“be put into use”。主动语态为“put something into use”。常见句型包括:1. 被动式:“The new system was put into use last month.”2. 主动式:“We will put the new method into use.”。易错点:不要遗漏介词“into”;“use”在此处为名词,不可用“using”;被动时注意时态和主谓一致。
近义辨析
与“put into use”相近的词组有“bring into use”、“employ”、“utilize”等。“bring into use”强调“开始使用”,与“put into use”几乎同义,但“bring”更侧重“带来”的动作。作为动词,“employ”更正式,常用于人或方法,如“We employ a new strategy.”;“utilize”强调有效利用资源,如“Utilize the available tools.”。区别在于“put into use”更具体地指“使某物开始被使用”,而“employ”和“utilize”更抽象,不强调“从无到有”的过程。
使用提示
该词组语域中性偏正式,在口语中不如“start using”常见。没有明显褒贬色彩,但用于描述新事物时往往带有积极意味。常见误用包括:用“put into using”或“put to use”(后者也存在,但“put to use”更强调“利用”,如“put his skills to use”)。注意区分“put into use”和“put in use”,后者不标准。
