| 单词 | about(of) |
| 释义 | about ： of — 13 1a. 用“涉及”讲，这两个介词所表达的“程度”和“范围”，前者要比后者强调和广泛得多（参见词目 8 、 9 、 11 、 12 、 14 和 15 ）。 例如： Dantes was only twenty. He did not think about such things. 丹田只有 20 岁，他考虑不到这些事情。 The boat went on, but the young prisoner only thought of Mercedes. 小船继续在行驶，而这个年轻的囚犯只想念梅茜。 We had never cared a jot about that country's “ aid ”．我们从来就一点儿也不希罕那个国家的“援助”。 There's not a jot of truth in his talk. 在他的谈话中没有一句真话。 比较： We have heard about his adventure. 我们已听到他的冒险事迹。（多少听到一些内容） We have heard of his arrival. 我们已听到他到达的消息。（只是听说而已） I don't know well about him. 我不大知道他的底细。 But I know of such a man. 可我知道有这么一个人。 Since his arrival, he has spoken about you. 自从他来了之后，他就谈到过你。（谈到了一些内容） Since his arrival, he has spoken of you. 自从他来了之后，他就提到过你。（仅仅是提到而已） 1b. 但在某些语言环境中，这两个介词却不能对换。试举例来说明。 例如： We had never cared a jot about that country's “ aid ”．我们从来就一点儿也不希罕那个国家的“援助”。（ about 是同 cared 搭配，所以不能改用 of ） There's not a jot of truth in his talk. 在他的谈话中，没有一句真话。（这里没有实义动词，所以要用 of 来引导 truth ） 比较： Mary didn't say anything about ／ of your arrival. 玛丽没有说起你到达这件事。（动词 say 可以用 about 或 of 搭配） Mary didn't speak of your arrival. 玛丽没有讲起你到达这件事。（ speak 同 of 搭配比较惯常） It is well to read everything of something, and something about everything. — Brougham. 还是博览群书，专攻一门为是。（ of 和 about 不能对换） |
