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。

英语中大约有80-100种不同的介词，但最常见的有:About, above, according, across, after, against, along, among, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beside, besides, between, beyond, concerning, down, during, except, for, from, in, into, like, of, off, on, over, over, past, since, through, toward, under, until, up, upon, with, within, without。

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).
