式/伴随/涉及/原因/目的/比较,一般放在句尾; 介词短语作表语时放在连系动

成的时间短语,前面不用任何介词。如:Every year travellers from abroad come
to visit Pingyao.(每年都有国外的游客来游览平窑镇)/ He had a bad cold that week.(那个星期他患重感冒)
? for有时用来引出动词不定式的逻辑主语,常翻译成“对于„而言”。如:

一个小时内完成这项工作太难了)/ The house is big enough for 10 men to live
in.(房子够大的可以容10个人住)

? 介词有时会与它的宾语分离,而且宾语前置。
? 当宾语是疑问词时。Who are you talking about?(你们在谈论谁,)
? 宾语在从句中当连接词时。He has a younger brother who he must take good
care of.(他有 一个需要他照顾的小弟。) / Do you know who our teacher is
talking with over there?(你知道我们的老师在那边和什么人谈话吗,) ? 动词不定式作定语且该动词为不及物动词,后面有介词。I finally found a chair to sit on.(我 最终找到了一张椅子坐。)

6、某些介词的用法辨析:
? 时间或地点介词in、on、at的用法区别:表示时间时, in表示在一段时间里(在将来时句子中则表示在一段时间之后), on表示在具体的某一天或者某天的上下午等, at表示在某个时刻或者瞬间; 表示地点时, in表示在某个范围之内, on表示在某个平面上或与一个面相接触,at则表示在某个具体的场所或地点。如:He was born on the morning of May 10th.(他出生于五月十日的早晨)/ I usually get up at 7:00 in the morning.(我通常在早上的七点钟起床) / His glasses are right on his nose.(他的眼镜就架在他的鼻子上)/ He is at the cinema at the moment.(此刻他正在电影院)
? after与in表示时间的用法区别:“after+(具体时刻/从句)”表示“在„时刻之后”常用于一般时态;“in+(一段时间)”表示“在(多久)之后”,常用于将来时态。如:He said that he would be here after 6:00.(他说他六点钟之后会来这儿)/ My father is coming back from England in about a month.(我父亲大约一个月以后从英国回来)
? since与for表示时间的用法区别:“since+(具体时刻/that-从句)”表示“自从„起一直到现在”,“for +(一段斶间)”表示“总共有„之久”,都常用于完成时态;如:Uncle Li has worked in this factory since 1970.(李叔叔自从1970年起就在这家工厂工作了)/ Uncle Li has worked in this factory for
over 30 years. (李叔叔在这家工厂已经工作了30多年)
? by、in与with表示方式的用法区别:都可以表示“工具、手段”,但是by主要表示“乘坐”某个交通工具或“以„„方式”,在被动句中可以表示动作的执行者;in表示“使用”某种语言/文字,with表示“使用”某个具体的工具、手段。如:We see with our eyes and walk with our feet.(我们用眼睛看东西,用双脚走路)/ Please write that article(文章) in English.(请你用英语写那篇文章)/ Let’s go to the zoo by taxi.(我们打的去动物园吧。)/ It was written by Lao She.(那是老舍写的)
? about与on的用法区别:都可以表示“有关„”,但是about的意义比较广,而on主要表示“有关„(专
/课程)”。如:Tom is going to give a talk on
the history of America.(汤姆要作一个美国历史的
)/ They are very excited talking about the coming field trip.(他们兴致勃勃地谈论着即将来到的野外旅游)
? through与across、over的用法区别: through指“穿过„(门洞/人群/树
林)”; across和over可以指“跨越„(街道/河流)”,可互换,但是表示“翻过„”时只能用over. 如:Just then a rat (鼠)ran across the road.(就在那时一只老鼠跑过路面)/ There is a bridge across/over the river.(河上有座桥)/ They climbed over the mountain and arrived there ahead of time.(他们翻过大山提前到达了那里)/ The visitors went through a big gate into
another park.(参观者们穿过一个大门来到另一个公园)
(7)as与like的区别:两个词都表示“像„„”,但是as译为“作为„„”,表示的是职业、职务、作用等事实,而like译为“像„„一样”,表示外表,不是事实。如:Let me speak to you as a father.(我以父亲的身份和你讲话。)(说话者是听者的父亲) / Let me speak to you like a father.(让我像一位父亲一样和你讲话)(说话者不是听者的父亲)
(at the end of、by the end of、to the end、in the end的用法区别:at the end of„既可以表示时间也可以表示地点,译为“在„末;在„尽头”,常与过去时连用;by the end of„只能表示时间,译为“在„前;到„为止”,常用于过去完成时; in the end与at last基本等义,表示“终于、最后”,通常用于过去时;to the end译为“到„的终点为止”,前面往往有表示运动或连续性的动词。如:By the end of last term we had learned 16 units of Book III.(到
)/ At the end of the road you can 上学期期末我们已经学习了第三册16个单元
find a big white house with brown windows.(在路的尽头你能找到一幢有棕色窗户的白房子)/ They left for Beijing at the end of last week.(上周末他们动身去了北京)/ In the end he succeeded in the final exams.(他最终在期末考试中考及格了)/ We should go on with the work to the end.(我们应该把工作干到底)/ Follow this road to the end and you will see a post
office.(沿这条路走到底就能看见一家邮电局)
(9)for a moment、for the moment、in a moment、at the moment的区别:for a moment“一会儿、片刻”(=for a while),常与持续性动词连用;for the moment“暂时、目前”,常用于现在时;in a moment“一会儿、立即、马上”(=soon;
in a few minutes),一般用于将来时;at the moment“此刻,眼下”(=now),用于现在进行时。如:Please wait for a moment.(请稍等)/ Let’s leave things as they are for the moment.(暂时就维持现状吧~) / I’ll come back in a
moment.(我过会儿回来)/ I am very busy at the moment.(眼下我很忙) (10)but的问题:用介词but引出另一个动词时,要注意:如果前面有do,后面就用原形动词,前面没有do时,后面的动词要加to。如:I could do nothing but
wait.(我什么也做不了只能等) / They had no choice(选择) but to fight.(他们没有选择只有战斗)
(11)in front of 与in the front of: in front of“在„的前面”, 与in the front of“在„的前部”。如:A car was parking in front of the hall.(大厅跟前停着一辆汽车)/ In the front of the hall stood a big desk.(大厅前部立着一个大讲台)
(12)except与besides的区别:except“除了”,表示排除掉某人物,即不包含;而besides“除了”则表示包含,即“不仅„„又„„”。如:Everyone went to the Palace Museum except Tom.(除了Tom,大家都去了故宫博物院)(Tom没有去故宫)/ Besides Chinese he also studied many other subjects.(除了汉语之外,他还学其他许多功课)(“汉语”也是他学的功课之一)
