04 重难语言知识之双重介词
【重点提示】
请先看下面三句话 :
[1]Here is a brief look at some of exciting musical styles from around the world. 这里简短地说一下世界各地某些令人兴奋的音乐风格。
[2]In China, students learn English at school as a foreign language, except for tho in Hong Kong, where many people speak English as a first or a cond language. 除了香港地区许多人把英语当作第一或第二语言外,中国学生都把英语作为外语来学习。
[3]A few days later, I was moving forward over a slope that emed safe when suddenly without warning my world dropped out from under my skis. 几天以后,我正在一个似乎安全的斜坡上前进,突然毫无预兆,滑雪板下的大地陷下去了。复名数
从以上三句话中的from around, except for, from under三个短语我们可以看出,英语中两个介词重叠使用,能够表达两个介词共有的、更精确更明了的含义。这种两个连在一起使用的介词称为“双重介词”(Double Prepositions)。从表达意义的角度来分析,双重介词用在一个介词难以全面准确表达含义的场合,或者需要从两个角度来描述其具体意义的场合。一般来说,前一个介词意义含糊、笼统,后一个介词意义比较具体或从另外一个角度对前一个介词的意义进行补充和完善。下面就简要分析以下双重介词的特点和用法。
1.两个介词属于同一范畴,但意义表达的角度不同或准确程度不一时,能构成双重介词。
例如:
(1)There are two bookmarks in between the three pages of the book. 这本书的三页之间有两个书签。(in和between同属于空间位置范畴,但从不同角度说明位置)
(2)New shoots will come up from around the roots. 新芽从旧根周围长出来。(from和around同属地点位置范畴,但一个介词均不能全面表达意义)
(3)The typhoon continued from before sunri till after nightfall. 这次台风从日出以前到
日暮以后。(form和till与before和after均可以表示时间,因而放在一起表意更加精确)
(4)She fainted and fell on to the floor. 她晕倒在地板上。(on和to均可以表示位置关系,但是on表示“在…之上”,to表示“向…”,这两个介词在一起更能突显fall的过程)
2.两个介词属于同一范畴,但意义相近或相同时,就不能构成双重介词。
例如:
in和at相互排斥,因为它们的意义相近,只是表示的范围大小不一样;to和towards互相排斥,因为它们的意义相同,只是towards暗含动作的渐进过程。
3.双重介词的两个介词之间可以用far, right, just, well等表示程度的副词修饰后一个介词。
例如:
(5)The temperature drops to just over zero centigrade. 天气只是下降到了零度以上。ll过去分词
(6)The hibernating animals reduce movement to far below the ordinary level. 冬眠的动物把自身的活动下降到了远远低于自己正常运动水平。
4.双重介词与名词或介词等构成短语后,可以在句子中作定语、状语等。
例如:
(7)Water began to flow out instead of into the bottle. [作状语]水开始从杯子里流出来而不是流进去。
(8)He has traveled everywhere 听课记录模板范文except in Japan. [作状语]他已经到处旅游过,除了日本之外。
(9)The wind from off the west coast will pass by here. [作定语]从大海西岸登陆的风将经过这里。
(10)We stayed in Beijing for over a month. [作状语]我们在北京停留了一个多月。
5.双重介词中的任何一个能独立表达意义时,另一个介词则可以省略。例如:
(11)He picked her up (from) among the crowd. [from可以省略,among可以单独表达意义]
他从人群中把她找了出来。
6.从以上对双重介词的分析我们不难看出,双重介词与一般的表示单一意义的固定的介词词组
用法是不同的。双重介词是把两个介词的意义结合起来才能够表达一个确定的意义,而固定的介词词组则共同表达一个单一意义。例如:
(12)In spite of the fact that he was young, he had already traveled to many countries.
尽管他很年轻,但是他已经去过很多国家。
(13)I speak here on behalf of my colleagues and mylf. 我代表我的同事和我自己在此发言。
这两句中,in spite of 和on behalf of都是表示单一意义的介词词组。其中的各个介词不能单独表达一个确切的意义,必须几个合在一起才能表达一个完整的概念。

Nobody can inspire us as great teachers can. They em to come when we 1 them most. They e 2 in us that others, including ourlves, can’t e. They show us that what we perceive as 3 is anything but that. Les Brown, one of the world’s greatest motivational speakers on lf-improvement, is a living example.
Born in an abandoned building in Miami, Les has known 4 his entire life. He was a struggling student from the beginning, who was 5 as “mentally handicapped (弱智)”and was ever placed back from 6th grade to 5th grade. Moreover, he had a twin brother who was exceptionally 6 , making Les the obvious “stupid twin”.
