at the point of與on the point of的用法區(qū)別
有朋友在本站“答疑中心”詢問 at the point of 與 on the point of 的用法區(qū)別。問題見: www.hz123456.com/guestbook/Guest_Reply.asp?TopicID=1766 該問題由本站特約作者及專家顧問陳根花老師回答如下: ■嚴(yán)格說來,at the point of 與 on the point of 是有區(qū)別的。 1. at the point of 指“在……時(shí)”“在臨近……時(shí)”。如以下實(shí)例均摘自英語詞典: at the point of death (=about to die at any moment) 在臨死時(shí) at the point of greatest success 在最成功的時(shí)候 at the point of greatest happiness 在最得意的時(shí)候 2. on the point of 指“正要……之際”“就要…之時(shí)”。如以下實(shí)例均摘自英語詞典: Already a bud on one of the roses was on the point of blooming. 一朵玫瑰花的花蕾已經(jīng)要開花了。 We were on the point of telephoning you when your fax arrived. 我們正要給你打電話你的傳真到了。 I’m glad you’ve come. I was just on the point of telephoning you. 我很高興你來了,我正要給你打電話。 The justice system was described as being on the point of collapse. 這個(gè)司法體系被描述為“瀕于崩潰的邊緣”。 France is on the point of recognizing the independence of the Baltic States. 法國即將承認(rèn)波羅的海諸國的獨(dú)立。 ■但事實(shí)上,在現(xiàn)代英語中兩者有時(shí)可以不加區(qū)別地混用。如: The climber was at / on the point of death when they found him. 當(dāng)他們發(fā)現(xiàn)那個(gè)登山者的時(shí)候,他已奄奄一息。——摘自《牛津高階英漢雙解詞》第6版 I was just on the point of going out the door. 我正準(zhǔn)備要出門。——摘自《美國英語習(xí)語和短語動(dòng)詞詞典》 We were almost at the point of buying a new car. 我們正準(zhǔn)備要買輛新車。——摘自《美國英語習(xí)語和短語動(dòng)詞詞典》 引用地址: |
