英语中5对棘手的介词

介词是一种正式的词性,用来表达句子中主语和宾语的关系。
在英语中,介词通常与名词和代词连用,但也与动词连用。

这篇文章将告诉你英语中5对棘手的介词,因为它们经常会让那些学英语的人感到困惑。
Into 和in to
第一对介词在会话中经常被混淆,因为它们只能通过上下文或一个轻微的停顿来区分。
介词into表示方向或运动,如进入某物的内部。
例如:
He put his wallet intohis pocket. –We drove intothe city. –
不要把这个和in to混淆,in to是两个独立的介词,
例句:
A customer came in to order a pizza. –In order to get ice, you need to freeze some water. –Ask for与ask to
为了区分这两者,你必须看上下文。如果你要求某物(名词),用ask for。如果你要求做某事(动词),用ask to。
下面是一些例子
I asked for a doughnut and orange juice.
She will ask to ride horses for her birthday.
3. Think of vs. Think about
第一个动词-介词组合的意思是“在你的脑海中有一个关于某人或某事的想法或形象”。这通常意味着一个简短或短暂的想法。To think about意思是专注于某件事,以便理解它,记住它,或对它做出决定。
例如:
Think of a number between one and ten.
This beautiful scene made me think about our last holiday.
4. Heard of vs. Heard about
这两个动词短语都表示了解某事的信息。它们通常是可以互换的,但是heard of意味着你知道某物的简单存在,而heard about意味着你了解了关于某物的更多细节和具体信息。
例如:
I have heard of the band Orange Waffles. – (I know that this music group exists)
I have heard about the band Orange Waffles. – (I know some facts or information about them)
5. Among vs. Between
Among用于描述几种事物,而between仅用于描述两种事物。
例如:
An elk stood among the trees. – (there were many trees).
Anne’s shop is between the library and a diner. – (two things).
