关于entrance后接介词to与of的问题
“entrance” 后面可以接介词 “to” 或 “of”,但它们的用法略有区别。以下是关于 “entrance” 后接介词 “to” 与 “of” 的示例说明:
- entrance to: The entrance to the museum is on the left. (博物馆的入口在左边。) “entrance to” 表示进入某个地点或建筑的入口。
- entrance of: The entrance of the theater is grand and impressive. (剧院的入口宏伟而令人印象深刻。) “entrance of” 表示某个地点或建筑的入口部分。
- entrance to: She made her entrance to the party with a beautiful dress. (她穿着漂亮的裙子走进了派对。) “entrance to” 表示某人进入某个地点或活动的方式。
- entrance of: The entrance of the forest is marked by a sign. (森林的入口有一个标志标示。) “entrance of” 表示某地区的进入点,常用于自然环境。
- entrance to: He found the entrance to the secret garden. (他找到了通往秘密花园的入口。) “entrance to” 表示进入特定地点的入口。
- entrance of: The entrance of the cave was hidden behind some rocks. (洞穴的入口被一些岩石隐藏了起来。) “entrance of” 表示某地区的进入点,特指洞穴、建筑等的入口。
根据上下文的不同,选择适合的介词可以更准确地表达你想要传达的意思。
1. 表示“……的入口”,其后通常接介词 to。如:
The entrance to the city was blocked up. 城门口被堵住了。
Where’s the entrance to the cave? 这个洞穴的入口在哪里?
但是,有时也用of。如:
A massive boulder blocked the entrance of the cave. 一块巨大的圆石堵住了山洞的入口。
He was on the watch for his brother at the front entrance of the school. 他在学校大门口守候着他的哥哥。
用to与用of的区别是:介词to侧重指方向,指“通向……的入口”;介词of侧重指位置,指“……的入口处”。如果不细分,有时两者均可使用。如:
I’ll meet you at the entrance to [of] the theatre. 我将在剧院门口和你见面。
2. 表示准许进入某场所、某组织、某机构等(此时的 entrance不可数),其接通常要接介词 to,不接of。如:
They were refused entrance to the club. 他们被拒于俱乐部门外。
Entrance to the exhibit is on weekdays only. 只有在周日才能参观本展览。
3. 表示进入某一具体的场所,动词enter后习惯上不接介词into,但是在类似情况下,名词entrance后可以接into。如:
Bridget made a dramatic entrance into the room. 布丽奇特进屋时动作很夸张。
4. 用于名词前作定语(无需介词to与of),尤其注意以下两个搭配:
(1) entrance fee 入场费
The entrance fee is $10 per head. (www.hxen.com) 入场费每人10美元。
There is no entrance fee to the gallery. 进入美术馆不收入场费。
(2) entrance examination 入学考试
He took the college entrance examinations but didn’t get in. 他参加了高考但未被录取。
