write 與write about的區(qū)別
write 與write about的區(qū)別。問題見:
1. write your ideas 意思是:把你的想法(觀點(diǎn),看法)寫出來。
2. write about your ideas 意思是:把你想法(觀點(diǎn),看法)的論據(jù)(理由)寫出來。
前者表示:動(dòng)賓關(guān)系是“直接”的;后者表示:動(dòng)賓關(guān)系是“間接接”的。
有網(wǎng)友曾經(jīng)問我類似的句子,也許能給你些許啟發(fā)。
網(wǎng)友問我:I read about the book before. 請(qǐng)問老師,“讀書”是read the book,為何還要加一個(gè)about呢?
這個(gè)問題很有意思。在這個(gè)句子中,read about the book不是“讀書”,而是“讀到關(guān)于那本書的介紹”。請(qǐng)比較以下兩個(gè)句子有何異同:
I've read the novel and I think it is very instructive. 我讀過那本小說,我認(rèn)為它很有教育意義。
I've read about the novel, but I wonder whether it is worth reading at all. 我讀過那本小說的介紹,但我不知道它是否值得一讀。
read和read about為何有如此大的差別呢?原來,在read the novel中,read是及物動(dòng)詞,是一種直接的閱讀;而在read about the novel中,read是不及物動(dòng)詞,是一種間接的閱讀,可以理解為在它后面省略了something, 即:read something about the novel??傊?,read the book和read about the book是直接和間接的關(guān)系。又如:
I know about him, but I don't know him. 我聽說過他,但我不認(rèn)識(shí)他。
We heard about / of the pop singer, but unfortunately we haven't heard her sing. 我們聽說過這位流行歌手,但很遺憾我們沒有親耳聽她演唱過。
I am not a writer, and I can't write a novel. But I can write about a novel. 我不是作家,我不會(huì)寫小說。但我可以寫小說評(píng)論。
