词组 | teach |
释义 | teach The transitive verb teach, in its various senses, can have many objects. It is possible to teach a student, teach a lesson, teach a class, teach a subject, and teach school. All of these uses of teach are venerable. The only one to have excited any critical comment is "to teach school," which was first recorded in 1686. It originated in British English, but the OED notes that it is "now dial, and U.S." In American English it is common and standard: • ... she taught school at Van Wert for five years — The Americana Annual 1953 • ... and is now teaching school in New York —William Pennell Rock, Center Mag., November/ December 1971 |
