When you cooperate, you work together. You can cooperate with the police by telling them everything you know about your neighbor’s pet leopard, or your preschooler can cooperate with you by doing everything you tell him to do, now!
The verb cooperate is originally from the combination of The Latin prefix co-, meaning “together,” and operari, meaning “to work.” The term “co-op” is a shortening of cooperative and is used when people work together (or cooperate) to run a preschool, health food store, or a residence. When you start or join a co-op, be prepared to cooperate with your partners, and remember: somebody has to clean the bathrooms.
实用短语
常用短语
单词用法
这组短语都表示“与…合作”的意思。其区别在于:
cooperate是一般用语,强调“自愿”;
collaborate有明显的感情色彩,与同伙人合作含褒义,与敌方合作表示“通敌”,含贬义;
play ball with是非正式单词用法,多用于表示“狼狈为奸”;
team up with则表示组成一个队或组共同做某事。
因为cooperate本身就有“彼此合作”的意思,所以其后不能跟mutually,with each other,together,jointly之类的词。
cooperate是不及物动词,与介词with连用时其后接人;与介词in(on〕连用时后接事。
cooperate常可接动词不定式作状语,表示目的。
