在現代英語詞滙裡,轉化詞很多。其中的名詞轉化爲動詞的趨勢更爲顯著。原因是轉化動詞很有生氣,極富吸引力。必須注意的是,轉化動詞與原動詞的含義,有所不同。例如:
①a. Do you know how to serve the guests?(侍候)
b. Do you know how to service this type of machine?(維脩)
②a. Who empowered him to announce the news?(授權)
b. How to power this dissused machine?(爲……提供動力)
③a. NUS is situated on a ridge.(位於)

④a. Before he departed, he packed the clothes and other belongings into his trunk.(裝進;包好)
