| 例句 | golf nounUSAGE golf One may either play golf (the phrase dates from ca. 1575) or simply golf (ca. 1800)—that is, golf can be a verb as well as a noun. Most golfers use the older phrasing and say that they play golf ( I'll be playing golf on Saturday), whereas nowadays nongolfers tend to be the ones who use golf as a verb ( she'll be golfing on Saturday). In modern print sources, played golf is 20 times as common as golfed. Writers on golf often disparage the verb golf as symptomatic of linguistic dufferdom—e.g.: One writer states: “If you call yourself a golfer, you never use golf as a verb. You never say ‘We went golfing.’ Golf to a golfer is a noun. A guy tells you he ‘golfs,’ and you know he's clueless.” ( San Francisco Examiner; June 14, 1998.) If you're serious about golf and writing, stick to the noun uses of golf. That will never get anyone teed off.Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage. |
