【AEAS考试网】英语陷阱题详解介词类(二)
为了提高参加AEAS考试的同学的英语水平,AEAS考试网特别为同学们带来一些考试技巧。这次介绍的是英语陷阱题详解介词类(二)。
4. Don't be angry _______ me for not having written. I was really too busy.
A. about B. with
C. to D. for
【陷阱】容易误选C。根据汉语的"对某人生气",将其中的"对"直译为to。
【分析】最佳答案为 B。按英语习惯,要表示对某人生气,通常用 be angry with [at] sb,要表示对某事生气,通常用 be angry at [about] sth(在美国英语中也用 be angry with sth,但不说 be angry with sb)。比较以下表达,其中的"对"也不用to来翻译:
你对这些安排感到满意吗?
误:Did you feel satisfied to the arrangements?
正:Did you feel satisfied with the arrangements?
老师应该对他的学生严格要求。
误:Teachers should be strict to their students.
正:Teachers should be strict with their students.
5. In those days, we had no phones, so we have to keep in touch _____ writing often.
A. with B. of
C. on D. by
【陷阱】容易误选A。根据 keep in touch with (与......保持联系)这一常用搭配推出。
【分析】正确答案是D。by 在这里表示方式,by writing 意为"通过写信",全句意为"我们通过经常写信保持联系"。请再看几例(均与介词搭配有关):
(1) We've talked a lot _______ films. How _____ television now?
A. of, with B. with, towards
C. about, about D. for, about
此题不要受 a lot of的影响而误选A。若第一空选 of,a lot of cars 即为动词 talk 的宾语,但实际上动词 talk 是不及物动词,不能后接宾语。最佳答案应是C,句中的a lot是修饰动词 talked 的状语,talk about才是一个动词短语。 全句意为"我们对电影已谈了不少,现在谈谈电视怎么样?" What about...意为"......怎么样",用于征求意见。
(2) We all regarded the poor old man ____sympathy.
A. as B. with
C. of D. by
有的同学一看到句中的 regard 和选项中的 as,马上就联想到 regard ... as ... (把......当作......)这一搭配,从而断定此题应选A。但是错了,原因是将此搭配套入原句,句子意思不通。正确答案是B,句意为"我们大家都很同情这位老人"。
