taste 既是及物动词也是不及物动词.
1、作为及物动词,它的意思是“通过味觉或经验体会某物的滋味”,即“享用某种食品”或“品味某种事物”,后面跟表示食物或事物的名词作宾语.如：
Please taste the soup.请尝一口汤.
The patient has not tasted food for two days.病人两天没有香香的吃东西了.
He tastes the joys of the happy life.他体会到幸福生活的欢乐.
Anyone who has tasted this life wants it to carry on for aslong as possible.任何享受过这种日子的人都希望它持续得越久越好.
2、作为不及物动词,常用作系动词,后面跟形容词或形容词性的“of + 名词” 作表语,表示“通过味觉感受到某种滋味”.如：
It tastes bitter.这东西吃起来很苦.
The rice tastes burnt.饭有焦味.
It tastes of lemon.这东西有柠檬味道.
He tasted of the life of the very rich.他享受过富贵人家的生活.
