英語里的介詞最常用的20個 —— 一篇寫給想提升表達(dá)質(zhì)感的你
你知道嗎？在英語中，介詞雖小，卻是句子“靈魂”的錨點。它們像隱形的紐帶，把名詞、代詞和動詞悄悄連接起來，讓語義更清晰、更自然。作為一位深耕自媒體多年的英語寫作者，我常被問：“哪些介詞最常用？怎么用才地道？”今天，我就用問答形式，帶你走進(jìn)英語介詞的日常世界。
Q1: “in” 和 “on” 有什么區(qū)別？
A: “in” 表示內(nèi)部或范圍，比如：I’m in the car.（我在車?yán)铮欢?“on” 指表面接觸，如：The book is on the table.（書在桌上）。別小看這差別——朋友說“Put your keys in the bag”比“on the bag”更準(zhǔn)確，因為鑰匙是放進(jìn)包里，不是貼在包上。
Q2: “at”, “by”, “with” 哪個更適合表達(dá)“和某人一起”？
A: “with” 最常見！如：I went to the cinema with my mom.（我和媽媽去看電影）。但“at”多用于地點（at school），而“by”強(qiáng)調(diào)方式或動作執(zhí)行者（by accident, by hand）。
Q3: “for” 和 “since” 怎么區(qū)分？
前者表目的或持續(xù)時間（I waited for you for an hour.）；后者特指從某個時間點開始（I’ve lived here since 2020.）。真實場景中，我曾看到一位留學(xué)生寫郵件：“I’ve been learning English for two years.”——這才是地道表達(dá)。
Q4: “about”, “on”, “of” 都表示“關(guān)于”，有啥不同？
“about” 最口語化，適合聊天（Let’s talk about travel.）；“on” 更正式，多見于學(xué)術(shù)寫作（a lecture on climate change）；“of” 多用于抽象概念（the story of my life）。
Q5: 為什么“to”, “into”, “onto” 常被混淆？
“to” 是方向（She walked to the park）；“into” 強(qiáng)調(diào)進(jìn)入空間（He jumped into the pool）；“onto” 則是“到……上面”（The cat jumped onto the chair）——一個動作，三種畫面感，真妙！
