born用于被动式be born,意为出生,诞生。
注意:不要说“I born”,“I have been born”,“I am born”,正确形式只有一种: I was born.
- I was born on Jan 1, 1990.
- I was born on a Friday.
- I was born in China.
- I was born in 1990.
(以上例句请注意介词的正确用法)
borne是动词bear的过去分词(bear, bore, borne)。
意思一:容忍
- She has borne all her problems with great courage.
意思二:指生孩子这一动作
- She has borne eight children. (= She has given birth to eight children.)
注意:bear表示“生(孩子)”时,常用过去式bore,且较正式,在日常口语中用had即可。She bore twelve children in twenty-two years. (or, more commonly, She had twelve children …)
