qualify · 语义深度解析

核心

达到标准，取得资格——或者给某种说法加上限制条件

qualify 来自拉丁语 qualificare（赋予品质）= qualis（什么样的）+ facere（做）→ 使达到某种品质标准。两个核心义项：① 取得资格，使合格（qualify for a job 具备工作资格）；② 限定，修饰说法（qualify a statement 限定说法，不使其过于绝对）。名词 qualification（资格，限定）对应两个义项。

释义

1

v.取得资格，具备条件（达到要求）

To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need.

要获得奖学金资格，申请人必须同时具备学业优秀和经济困难两个条件。

2

v.限定，修饰（使说法不过于绝对）

I would like to qualify my earlier statement — the data does not apply to all age groups.

我想修正一下我之前的说法——该数据并不适用于所有年龄段。

语感

qualify = 达到那条线——过了线是资格，给说法画线是限定

取得资格使合格限定修饰

qualify for（有资格，符合条件）是义项一的核心搭配。qualified 形容词：a qualified doctor（有资质的医生）；highly qualified（高度合格）。语法术语中 qualifier（限定词）来自义项二。注意：disqualify（取消资格）是反义构词。qualification 名词：academic qualifications（学术资质），with qualifications（有保留地）。

陷阱

⚠️qualify for vs. be qualified to do：两种结构须区分

She is fully qualified to practise medicine in this country.

✗

qualify for 和 be qualified to do 完全相同

✓

qualify for sth. = 符合某条件，有资格获得某物（qualify for a grant 符合补贴条件）；be qualified to do sth. = 有能力/资质做某事（be qualified to teach = 有资质教学）

她完全有资质在这个国家行医。（有能力做某事 → be qualified to do）

Q1对错判断

判断下面句子里 qualify 的用法是否正确：

Only residents who have lived in the city for more than five years qualify for the housing assistance programme.

qualify for（有资格获得）是正确搭配

Q2近义选词

选择最恰当的词填空：

Part-time employees who work fewer than 16 hours per week are not ___ for paid annual leave.

Aqualified

Beligible

✓ 每周工作不足16小时的兼职员工无资格享受带薪年假。

法规规定的资格条件用 eligible for；qualified 更侧重「能力/资质上」合格，不如 eligible 适合此语境

Q3翻译应用

用 qualify 翻译下面句子（可参考 writing_upgrade 字段的搭配）：

并非所有申请人都能获得政府补贴资格，只有符合收入和居住条件的人才能申请。

Not all applicants qualify for government subsidies — only those who meet the income and residency requirements can apply.

关键搭配：qualify for government subsidies
