一.介詞與動詞的搭配
同一介詞可以與不同的動詞搭配,表示不同的意思。以of為例:
Jack reminds her grandma of her husband because he looks just like him.(使……想起)
Have you ever heard of such a thing?(聽說)
She often spoke of her life in China.(談起)
The lady was robbed of 10 dollars on her way home.(搶劫)
Thanks for thinking of me.(思念)
同一動詞可以與不同的介詞搭配使用,表示不同的意思。以look為例:
Look after the children.(照顧)
He looked at the timetable.(看)
What are you looking for?(尋找)
The police are looking into the case.(調(diào)查)
在許多動詞 + 介詞的結(jié)構(gòu)中,介詞實際上是動詞的一部分,與動詞一起構(gòu)成短語動詞。
