介詞都是一些常用的小詞匯,例如 at, for, in, on, to 等等。對(duì)于介詞的定義,如下:“a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause(介詞通常是前置詞,用來表達(dá)名詞或代詞與分句中其它單詞或組成部分之間的關(guān)系)。”
一些示例如下: Thida works at the market. This coffee’s for Luca! Alejandro lives in Peru. Agnieszka’s on the bus. Mika’s listening to J-pop again.
英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)的人們很少用錯(cuò)常用介詞,但常常會(huì)理解錯(cuò)了非母語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人,這是因?yàn)樗麄兘?jīng)常將本國(guó)語(yǔ)言直接翻譯成英語(yǔ)。在此,我們給您兩個(gè)提高掌握介詞能力的方法:
世界各地的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者常常用錯(cuò)介詞at, for, in, on, to,我們就其常見用法做以簡(jiǎn)單說明。 1)arrive at 還是 arrive in? 我們總是arrive at [一個(gè)特定地點(diǎn)],如school, a restaurant, the airport, your aunt’s house(但arrive in a city / a country)。 例如: × When we arrived to Claudio’s house… When we arrived at Claudio’s house… The train arrived at Shibuya station thirty seconds late. On Friday, the president arrived in Poland. The K-pop band arrived in Phnom Penh last week.
2)at night 你可以work hard in the morning, relax in the afternoon, eat dinner in the evening,但卻只能go out at night。 因此: × We often go out in the night. We often go out at night. Krakow is beautiful at night.
3)look for 和 wait for 要是在找東西,那就是look for them 或search for them;如果是等待某事或某人,那就是wait for them。 例如: × I was looking my glasses. × Giulia was waiting me at the bus stop. I was looking for my glasses. Lukasz is looking for a new job. Giulia was waiting for me at the bus stop. Tevy is waiting for her sister to finish class.
4)for [一段時(shí)間] 表示一段時(shí)間內(nèi)一直在做某事。例如: × I’ve been working here since five years. 要用 for a few minutes t h r e e m o n t h s t w e n t y y e a r s 如果表示從某個(gè)特定時(shí)間點(diǎn)開始一直在做某事,那就: 要用 since this morning / September / the day we met. 其它示例: I’ve been working here for five years. She hasn’t drunk coffee for years. Makikos’s been living in Yokohama since February. I haven’t seen her since yesterday morning.
5)in [月份和/或年份] 出現(xiàn)月份和年份,就要用介詞in。例如: × It’s my birthday on July! It’s my birthday in July! Ola was born in 2004. 6)live / work / study in [城市或國(guó)家] 在某個(gè)城市或國(guó)家生活/工作/學(xué)習(xí),這時(shí)都要用in。但你可以live at[一個(gè)具體的地址];work for/at[一個(gè)具體組織];study at [一個(gè)具體學(xué)校]。 例如: × I live at Tokyo. I live in Tokyo. Roberta works in Sassari. Hector studies in Canada.
Anialives at 34 ul. Karmelicka. Ryosuke works for Toyota. Dara studies at Phnom Penh International University.
7)on [日期] 表示在某個(gè)日期或星期幾,需要使用介詞on。 例如: × It’s my birthday in Saturday! It’s my birthday on Saturday! It’s my birthday on May 1st. (提醒注意,如果是僅僅說明月份,正確句式為It’s my birthday in May.)
8)depend on 跟在depend后面的介詞總是on,除非只是說It depends。 例如: × It depends of what you want: Italian food or Chinese food. It depends on what you want: Italian food or Chinese food. We’ll go to either Disney World or the beach, depending on the weather. What do you usually have for breakfast – tea or coffee? – It depends!
9)welcome to[某個(gè)地點(diǎn)] 如果是歡迎來某處,那就一定是welcome to [a house, school, organization, city, country] 例如: × Welcome in Peru! Welcome to Peru! Welcome to Cagliari. Welcome to Meiji University. Welcome to the Plaza Hotel. We hope you enjoy your stay.
10)married to 如果是用married這一過去分詞型式,那就一定是be / get married to someone,但是,如果只用作動(dòng)詞型式,就是marry somone。 例如: × He’s married with Kim. He’s married to Kim. Alessandro’s getting married to Sara next summer. Haruka is marrying my old school friend. 其它有關(guān)介詞語(yǔ)法的文章,請(qǐng)查看: Different than、different from、different to如何不同呢?
