write 与write about的区别
write 与write about的区别。问题见:
1. write your ideas 意思是:把你的想法(观点,看法)写出来。
2. write about your ideas 意思是:把你想法(观点,看法)的论据(理由)写出来。
前者表示:动宾关系是“直接”的;后者表示:动宾关系是“间接接”的。
有网友曾经问我类似的句子,也许能给你些许启发。
网友问我:I read about the book before. 请问老师,“读书”是read the book,为何还要加一个about呢?
这个问题很有意思。在这个句子中,read about the book不是“读书”,而是“读到关于那本书的介绍”。请比较以下两个句子有何异同:
I've read the novel and I think it is very instructive. 我读过那本小说,我认为它很有教育意义。
I've read about the novel, but I wonder whether it is worth reading at all. 我读过那本小说的介绍,但我不知道它是否值得一读。
read和read about为何有如此大的差别呢?原来,在read the novel中,read是及物动词,是一种直接的阅读;而在read about the novel中,read是不及物动词,是一种间接的阅读,可以理解为在它后面省略了something, 即:read something about the novel。总之,read the book和read about the book是直接和间接的关系。又如:
I know about him, but I don't know him. 我听说过他,但我不认识他。
We heard about / of the pop singer, but unfortunately we haven't heard her sing. 我们听说过这位流行歌手,但很遗憾我们没有亲耳听她演唱过。
I am not a writer, and I can't write a novel. But I can write about a novel. 我不是作家,我不会写小说。但我可以写小说评论。
