ON的用法与总结
首先,大家看看如下句子,能准确理解/译出几句?
基础版:
1.Ow, you're standing on my foot!
2.She was dead on arrival at the hospital.
豪华版:
1.She's on $25,000 a year.
2.I am on the phone.
3.I don't have a driving licence on me.
以上只是列举出来了一些例子。
关于介词ON,剑桥网页版词典一共给出了25条释义。根据难易程度,我做出了如下一个区分:
easy:即我们常用释义。当我们第一眼看见这个词可以毫不费力的知道含义。比如:the book is on the table.
hard:即我们不常用但在看英文电影/杂志时却很常用的含义。比如:is he on drugs?/ wave on wave of refugees has crossed the border to escape the fighting等。
一、
首先试着理解如下句子
when's the movie coming out on DVD?
I was really embarrassed the first time i saw myself on film.
what's on TV tonight?
在这些句子中,我们发现:on可以和TV/DVD/radio/film等表示媒介的词语放在一起使用,表示“以。。方式记录,演出等”。
on+媒介单词(TV等),表示“以。。方式记录,演出等”
二、
the attack on the village lasted all night.
i wish you wouldn't sneak up on me like that.
在上面两个句子中,我们发现了on的另一个含义:to/towards
第一句译成:对村庄的袭击持续了一整晚;我希望你别总蹑手蹑脚的走向我。
能体会出on可以表示方向“朝,向”等含义。
三、
i don't have my driving licence on me.
do you have a spare on you?
on在这两个句子中都表示“拥有possession,随身携带”
四、
He inherited a quarter of a million pounds on his mother's death.
On their return they discovered their house had been broken into.
on这个介词可以表示很多含义,像上面这两个句子中表示的是“after在、、之后”
