重点讲解
一.around:prep. 到处,在 ... 附近,围绕,大约,符合 adv. 到处,在周围,现有,闲散地,转弯,掉头 adj. 存在的,在风行的
【词语用法】
around和round相似,均作副词和介词用。美国人习惯用around,如下列各例句:
He turned around.Like the moon, the artificial satellites move around the earth.
I went around to the post-office.
Around 800 men came.
英国人习惯用round,如上面的前三个例句,他们习惯把around改成round,而最后一句,则改成about。
around有一些固定的搭配,如around and about,around and above,all around等。而有时不可用around,如winter comes around,all the year around,win one around等;
round与around的比较:
round常指在圈内或者曲线上的移动或定位。
She walked round the car and looked at the wheels.
英国人还常用round作“去到一个地方的每个部分”或“分东西给组里的每个人”。
We walked round the old part of the town.
Could you pass the cups round, please?
而around则指不明确的,模糊的移动或定位。
The children were running around/about everywhere.
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句:I prefer being around people.
纠正:I prefer having people around me.
翻译:我更偏向有人围绕在我的身边。
分析:这里颠倒了不可倒置的习语。
