2019年伊始，网络上出现了一个流行语——“盘他”。这个词出自孟鹤堂和周九良的相声《文玩》中的一句台词 “干巴巴的，麻麻赖赖的，一点都不圆润，盘他。”
“盘”，我们都知道是一种器皿，而在这里“盘”用作动词。
这种由名词转化为动词的语言现象叫作名词动词化。名词动词化后，常常表示具有该名词的活动特点或性质特征的动作。
语言是相通的，汉语里有名词动化现象，英语里也同样存在，而且很常见！语言学家Steven Pinker 说“Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries,” “it is one of the processes that makes English English.”
实际上，英语中的名词动化起源于盎格鲁-撒克逊时代。古英语中的“love” “rain”“thunder”等名词就可转为动词使用。随着语言的发展，大部分名词的动词用法其实已经固定下来，成为这个词的一部分了。当然，也会不断有新词汇被创造出来，比如我们熟知的“google”，其动词用法“通过google来搜索信息”已经收录在《韦氏词典》和《牛津英语词典》中。
高考中名词动化现象也是非常多的：
I quickly lower myself, duckingmy head to avoid looking directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel challenged. (2018 全国III卷语法填空)
If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchorit in a tree. (2017年全国I卷阅读理解B篇)
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weightingthe sheet’s center down with a rock. (2017年全国I卷阅读理解D篇)
这些名词的动词释义往往教材没有收录，而高考却经常出现这样的生义。怎么破？
小编总结了最常见的一些名词动化分类，以帮助大家更好理解名词动化，应对高考。
