英语中有一些看起来极为相似的词组,不同之处仅仅在于是否含有定冠词the。小心了,有时它们表示的意义并不同。
1. 词组in the front of和in front of都有“在……前面”的意思,但含义不同。in the front of表示“在……(范围内的)前面”;而in front of表示“在……(范围外的)前面”。如:
He likes to sit in the front of the classroom.
他喜欢坐在教室的前排。
There is a pond in front of the house.
房屋前面有个池塘。
2. At table意为“吃饭;进餐”;at the table意为“在桌边”。如:
He seldom talks at table.
他吃饭时很少说话。
We sat at the table,talking.
我们坐在桌边交谈。
3. Go to school意为“开始求学;到校上课”;go to the school意为“去学校(但不一定是上学)。”如:
He usually goes to school by bike.
他通常骑自行车到校上课。
His mother often goes to the school to see him.
他的妈妈经常去学校看他。
4. In charge of(=take charge of),意为“主管;看管;在……看管之下”,主语是人;in the charge of意为“负责管理;负责照料”,主语是事物(物)。如:
Miss Wang was in charge of our class.
王老师负责管理我们班级。
Our class was in the charge of Miss Wang.
我们班级由王老师负责管理。
5. At sight意为“一看见就”,一般放在句末;at the sight of意为“在看到……时”,可放在名首或句末。如:
He plays music at sight.
他即时看谱演奏。
At the sight of the police officers the thief ran off.
小偷一看见警察就跑了。
6. Go to sea意为“出海,当水手(=become a sailor)”;go to the sea意为“去海边”。如:
When he was a boy,his greatest wish was to go to sea.
他小时候最大的愿望就是去当水手。
