- adj. 缺席的;不在的;缺乏的
- vt. 使缺席
考点牛津朗文柯林韦氏
一、习惯用语
absent from 缺席
absent minded 健忘的
absent from work 旷工;缺勤
二、辨析
be absent from, be absent in
- 这两个短语在接表示地点的名词时,含意不同:be absent from的意思是“不在…(地方)”; be absent in的意思是“在某地,而不在说话人所在地”。试比较:
- He was absent from London.
- 他不在伦敦。
- He was absent in London.
- 他不在这里,而在伦敦。
