词组 | visit |
释义 | 1.不论用作名词或动词,现在 visit 在英国比在美国用得少,有下面五点该注意: (1)在英国说医生到病家出诊,牧师到教区里的人家和公务人员的视察,都用 visit。但说一般的“访问”用 call 而不用 visit,用了 visit 含有“逗留几天”的意思。例如: He made a call on the artist the other day. I shall call on you this evening. She paid us a five-day visit last year. When she visited us last year, she told us a story every evening. (2)在英国用 call 的场合,在美国往往用 visit。 (3)visiting list(该去访问的人名单)英美通用。 (4)visiting card(或 visiting-card,访客名片)是英国英语,不是美国英语,在美国反而用 calling card(或 calling-card)。 (5)visit 在美国往往用作“叙谈”解。例如: I met him in the park yesterday and much enjoyed the visit. He had a pleasant visit with her over the telephone. I used to visit with him in his office. 注意第二句和第三句里在 visit 后面用 with。 2.比较下面两句: He happened to be visiting shanghai(访问上海、在上海观光)at the time of the Exhilition. He happened to be visiting in Shanghai(在上海访问亲友)at the time of the Exhilition. |
