三、词义辨析
prep. (介词)
across, along
这两个词均可表示“方向”。across指沿着与其宾语所指事物交叉的方向,意思是“横过,横越”; along指沿着与其宾语所指事物平行的方向,尤指沿着细长或狭窄的物体,如走廊、公路等。
across, beyond
这两个词都可表示方位,意指“在…的另一边”。其区别在于:across指“在…的对面”或“在…的另一边”; 而beyond是指“在…较远的一边”。
across, over
这两个介词都可表示“在…另一侧”,有时可以互换。across表示从某一平面的一边至另一边; over表示从某障碍物的上面跨越过至另一侧。例如:
When I saw him, he was climbing over the fence.我看到他时,他正在爬越栅栏。
I helped the old lady across the road.我扶着老太太过了马路。
across, through
这两个介词均可用于“从一边到另一边的动作”。其区别是:
across表示动作是在某一物体的表面进行的; through表示动作是在三维空间进行的,四面八方都有东西。
下面两个句子的意思不同:
河上有座桥。
There is a bridge across the river.
(桥横跨河上)
There is a bridge over the river.
(桥高出水面)
come across, drop across, fall across, run across
这四个短语的共同意思是“偶然遇到,碰到”。其区别是:
1.fall across的对象只能是人,不能是事物; 而come across, drop across和run across的对象可以是人,也可以是事物; run across的对象是事物时,只指令人不快的事物。
2.fall across不可用于被动结构。
cut across, cut through
这两个短语都指“抄近路走过”,cut across指从表面通过,其宾语一般比较宽广;而cut through则表示从物体内部穿过,具有快速穿越的意思。
adv. (副词)
across, cross
across与cross形近义同,但词性不同,前者用作介词或副词,表示一个穿越动作时要与一个实义动词连用; 后者用作动词,可单独表示穿越动作。
get across to,get through to
这两个短语都有“使…理解”之意,其区别在于get across to的宾语为一群人,而get through to的宾语为某个人。
across,along,over,through
这些前置词均有“横过、穿过”之意。
across指“从……的一边到另一边”,强调横过,多与动态动词连用。
along指沿着一条直线在水平方向上运动。一般表动态,有时也与静态动词连用。
over常和动态动词连用,指“从……上面越过”或“横越”;表静态时,指“在彼处”。
through侧重从一端穿到另一端。
across,through,cross
都可表示“横过”或“穿过”
across主要表示从某物的表面“横过”,涉及“面”的概念。
through则表示从某个空间“穿过”,涉及“体”的概念。
crossacross和cross 在拼写上仅差一字之微,故很易混淆。它们的区别在于词性和使用场合有所不同。across是介词;cross是动词。
