reach可以用作名詞、及物動詞和不及物動詞。
1,作為名詞,它的意思是“范圍;延伸;河段;橫風(fēng)行駛,人名; (柬)列”。例如:
The book is beyond my reach. 這本書太遠(yuǎn)我夠不著。
The river widens at this reach. 河在這一段變寬了。
He sailed on a reach for two hours. 他橫風(fēng)行駛了兩個(gè)小時(shí)。
2,作為及物動詞,它的意思是“達(dá)到;影響;抵達(dá);伸出”。例如:
He reached the top of the mountain. 他登上了山頂。
His voice reached every corner of the room. 他的聲音傳遍了房間的每個(gè)角落。
They reached Paris at noon. 他們中午到達(dá)了巴黎。
He reached out his hand to help her. 他伸出手來幫助她。
3,作為不及物動詞,它的意思是“達(dá)到;延伸;伸出手;傳開”。例如:

The road reaches to the coast. 這條路一直延伸到海岸。

The news reached us too late. 消息傳到我們這里已經(jīng)太晚了。
從上面的例句可以看出,reach作為及物動詞時(shí),后面要接名詞或代詞作賓語,還可以接雙賓語,其間接賓語可以轉(zhuǎn)化為介詞for的賓語。例如:
He reached me a book. = He reached a book for me. 他遞給我一本書。
She reached him the phone. = She reached the phone for him. 她遞給他電話。
reach作為不及物動詞時(shí),后面可以接介詞短語或副詞作狀語,表示方向、范圍或目的。例如:
He reached across the table and shook my hand. 他從桌子那邊伸過來握了握我的手。
The tree reaches up to the sky. 這棵樹直沖云霄。
