介詞by的用法
本單元by + v.-ing結(jié)構(gòu)是一個重點,該結(jié)構(gòu)意思是“通過„„,以„„的方式”,后面常接v.-ing形式,表示“通過某種方式得到某種結(jié)果”,即表示行為的方式或手段。
I practice speaking English by joining an English-language club. 我通過加入一個英語語言俱樂部來練習(xí)講英語。
Mr Li makes a living by driving taxis.李先生靠開出租車為生。
介詞by + v.-ing 結(jié)構(gòu)常用來回答How do you...?或How can I...?之類的問題。 —How do you learn English? 你怎樣學(xué)習(xí)英語呢?
—I learn English by reading aloud. 我通過大聲朗讀來學(xué)英語。 —How can I turn on the computer? 我怎樣才能打開電腦呢? —By pressing this button. 按這個按鈕。 [相關(guān)鏈接]
by 是個常用介詞,其他用法還有:
?、俦硎疚恢茫馑际?ldquo;在„„旁邊”,“靠近„„”,有時可與beside互換。 The girls are playing by (beside) the lake. 女孩們正在湖邊玩。 此時要注意它與介詞near有所不同,即by 表示的距離更“近”。 比較:
He lives by the sea. 他住在海濱。 He lives near the sea. 他住在離海不遠(yuǎn)處。 ②表示交通方式,意為“乘坐”,后接表示交通工具的名詞(如 bus, bike, train, plane, car, taxi, ship等)或與交通工具密切相關(guān)的名詞(如air, water, land, road等),在句中主要用作方式狀語,其中通常不用冠詞或其他限定詞。
Jim often goes to work by bike. 吉姆常騎自行車上班。
但是,若表示交通工具的名詞前插有定語修飾語,則也可以用冠詞。如: We’re going by the 9:30 train. 我們坐9:30的火車去。
We went to Shanghai by a large ship. 我們乘一艘大船去上海。 注意,漢語說“步行”,英語習(xí)慣上用on foot, 而不用 by foot。 注意以下表示方式的有用表達(dá),其中不用冠詞或其他限定詞:
by phone 用電話 by telegram 用電報 by letter 用信件 by express 用快件 by air mail 用航空郵件 by ordinary mail 用平信 by post 用郵寄 by radio 用無線電 by hand 用手工 by machine 用機器
?、郾硎緯r間,意思是“在„„以前;不遲于„„”。
e.g. My mother will come back by 6:00. 我媽媽將在六點前回來。 ④ 表示動詞執(zhí)行者,意思是“被;由”,主要用于被動語態(tài),此時要注意它與介詞with的區(qū)別:by 表示動作的主體,with 表示動作者的手段工具。如: The house was destroyed by fire. 此屋被大火燒毀。(fire是動作的主體,此句的主動形式為Fire destroyed the house.)
The house was destroyed with fire. 此屋是(被人)用火燒毀的。(fire只是工具,動作的主體另有其人,此句可認(rèn)為省略了一個by短語,如by someone之類的,其主動形式可以是 Someone destroyed the house with fire.)
【延伸拓展】
介詞with,in,through與by相同,也可以表示“通過(用)”,但有所區(qū)別。
?、?ldquo;with + 名詞” ①表示用„„工具(具體有形的工具)②(表材料或內(nèi)容)以„„,用„„來填充 We see with our eyes and hear with our ears. 我們用眼睛看用耳朵聽。
?、?ldquo;in + 名詞”表示“用„„方式,用„„原料或用„„語言(語調(diào)、筆墨、顏色)等;”。 Listen!They’re talking in English. 聽!他們正在用英語交談。
?、?ldquo;through + n.”表示“通過某種方式、由于某種理由、穿過”,多強調(diào)作用或原因。 You can achieve success only through your hard work. 你只有通過努力工作才能獲得成功。 [趁熱打鐵]
