【问】 ╳They robbed her necklace(all her money).
 他们抢了她的项链(她所有的钱)。
 ╳I was stolen.
 我被盗了。
 据说这两个跟汉语完全对应的句子都是错误的，不知错误出在什么地方?
 【答】 在汉语里可以说“抢了项链”、“抢了钱”、“抢了银行”、“抢了某人”，而在英语里却只能说rob a hank，rob her，而不能说rob the money(necklace)。这是因为rob的宾语只能是遭抢的人或地点，而不能是被抢的东西本身。如果要涉及被抢的东西，则必须用rob sb.of sth.这个结构：
 They robbed her of all her money.
 1. I am a gentleman. I live by robbing the poor. (Shaw)

 2. The man who robbed you is called Sykes. (PEG)

 3. Thieves robbed the bank of thousands of dollars. (Thorndike)

 4. She was robbed of her necklace (by the gang). (CGEL)
 她的项链被(歹徒)抢走了。
 而steal的用法与rob不同，它的宾语只能是被偷的东西(necklace，money，watch等等)，而不能是遭偷的人或地点：
 1. While he was asleep，she stole his watch. (LDOCE)
 当他睡着的时候，她偷了他的手表。
 2. Someone stole a painting from the museum. (FWF)
