CF:Collocation：肥沃的土壤/土地fertilesoil/fields

DR_word_fertile3fruitful

指“促进多产的”，在指土壤时，可代替fertile；它也可指结果，尤其是“好结果”。例如：CF:那些讨论证明是卓有成效的。Tductive指人或事物“多产的，有成果的”，是一个意义很广泛的词。例如：他是位多产作家。Heisaproductivewriter.肥沃的土壤能种出好庄稼。Fertilesoilyieldsgoodcrops.DR_word_request1request:1.v.

ask(aperson)todosth.AllIrequestofyouisthatyoushouldbeearly.我对你的唯一请求是要你早点到。Irequestedhimtousehisinfluenceonmybehalf.我请求他为我使用他的影响力。这三个词都可作动词用，都有“要求”的意思。request意思是“请求（某人）做某事”，侧重请求。例如：request,ask&solicitCF:DR_word_request2ask作“询问”，“提问”，“要求”讲时，指某人对不知道或不明白的事情、道理提出问题，请别人解答；作“要求”讲时，侧重要求得到某物。例如：CF:他向他父亲要的太多。Hehasaskedhisfatherfortoomuch.solicit是正式用语，指“恭敬或认真地请求”。现在多用于“请求别人注意”，因而常见于商业用语中。例如：《中国日报》正在征求订户。ChinaDailyissolicitingsubscriptions.敬请您光临宴会。Youaresincerelyrequestedtobepresentattheparty.DR_word_request3request一词后如果接宾语从句，则从句中用虚拟语气should+v.（原形），或省略should，直接用v.（原形）。NB:Mr.PainerequestedthatI(should)handinmyhomeworkbeforeFriday.佩恩先生要求我星期五之前交作业。类似的用法还有suggest,advise,demand,order及这些词的名词形式。Hegaveusasuggestionthatwe(should)stayathomeontheNationalDay,becausetherewerecrowdseverywhereinthecity.2.n.
