一、表示“安排”
1. 用作及物動(dòng)詞：
◎用名詞或代詞作賓語(yǔ)：
We will arrange everything. 你們會(huì)安排好一切的。
I’ve arranged a taxi for you. 我已為你們安排了一輛出租車。
有時(shí)用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)：
It is all arranged. 這事全都安排好了。
【注意】arrange(安排)通常不跟雙賓語(yǔ)。如：
請(qǐng)給我們安排一次與工人的會(huì)見(jiàn)。
誤：Please arrange us an interview with the workers.
正：Please arrange an interview with the workers for us.
◎用不定式作賓語(yǔ)：
They arranged to start early. 他們計(jì)劃一早出發(fā)。
I’ve arranged to see them tonight. 我已安排今晚同他們見(jiàn)面。
We still have to arrange how (when) to go there. 我們還得安排如何(何時(shí))去那兒。
【注意】表示“安排某人做某事”，不能用 arrange sb to do sth, 而應(yīng)用 arrange for sb to do sth (此時(shí)的 arrange 為不及物動(dòng)詞)。如：
我已安排他去參加會(huì)議。
誤：I’ve arranged him to attend the meeting.
正：I’ve arranged for him to attend the meeting.
◎用 that 從句作賓語(yǔ)(從句多用虛擬語(yǔ)氣)：
We have arranged that she (should) look after the children. 我們已安排她照看孩子。
They arranged that the meeting (should) be put off to Saturday. 他們安排把會(huì)議推遲到星期六。
2. 用作不及物動(dòng)詞
用作不及物動(dòng)詞(注意與介詞的有用搭配)。如：
We must arrange about that. 我們須對(duì)此事作出安排。
Call up and arrange for a taxi，please. 請(qǐng)打電話安排一輛出租車。
Let’s go and arrange with them about it. 我們?nèi)ズ退麄儼堰@事安排一下。
Let’s try and arrange so that we can get there in time. 我們?cè)O(shè)法安排一下，以便能及時(shí)趕到。
用作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)，還通常用于 arrange for sb (sth) to do sth(此類句型中的介詞 for 不能省略)。如：
He’s arranged for me to attend the meeting. 他已安排我去參加會(huì)議。
We have arranged for the car to come at nine. 我們已安排好讓汽車9點(diǎn)鐘來(lái)。
比較以下同義句型：
我們安排把會(huì)議推遲一周后召開(kāi)。
正：We arranged for the meeting to be put off for a week.
正：We arranged that the meeting (should) be put off for a week.
二、表示“整理”“排列”（及物）
They were arranged in kinds (years, size). 他們是按種類(年代，大小)排列的。

三、派生詞arrangement的用法
1. 表示“安排”“準(zhǔn)備”（通常可數(shù)）
I’m satisfied with your arrangements. 我對(duì)你的安排很滿意。

有時(shí)也用作不可數(shù)名詞：
The price of the house is a matter of arrangement. 此屋的價(jià)格可以商量決定。
注意短語(yǔ) make arrangements(作安排)，注意其后的有用搭配：
They are making arrangements for the party. 他們?cè)跒橥頃?huì)作準(zhǔn)備。

We made arrangements with him to meet in a week. 我們和他約好一周后見(jiàn)面。
2. 表示“排列”“整理”
若指排列或整理的動(dòng)作(the act of putting into or of being putting into order)，則為不可數(shù)名詞；若指排列或整理的結(jié)果(something that has been put in order)，則通常為可數(shù)名詞。如：
He suggested arrangement by subject. 他建議按學(xué)科排列。
That’s a beautiful flower arrangement. 那花排列很美。
