v.批评；挑剔；评论；非难；吹毛求疵

criticize的基本意思是“评论”,指识别某人或某物的优缺点,有时还含有非难或挑剔的意味。
criticize既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,常接人、理论、路线等作宾语,很少接“懒惰”“急躁”等作宾语。
criticize的宾语后可接介词for表示原因,接介词as表示性质或内容。
criticize在英式英语中也可写作criticise。
说“批评某人的粗心”时,不能直接以“粗心”作criticize的宾语,而应接“某人”作其宾语,用介词for引出批评的内容。例如: 老师批评了他的粗枝大叶作风。误:The teacher criticized his carelessness.正:The teacher criticized him for care- lessness.
criticize后不能接that从句。例如: 他认为这个故事不吸引人。误:He criticized that the story lacked interest.正:He criticized the story for lacking interest.
adj.未受批判(或批评)的
