不一样英语语法之:"坐椅子"究竟用in还是on?
人教社 陈力
中小学英语老师大都会教给学生说,“坐椅子”英语介词用on不用in。
实际上这也是个误导。
看一下语料库就知道了,sit in the chair
的用法,很常见。
Sit
on the chair and sit in the chair, which
is correct?
Both are
correct.
那二者如何区别呢?
主要有两个方面需要考虑。一是椅子类型,二是说话人的意图。
(辨析的底层逻辑,其实还是人类的“认知”)
At least two
factors need to be considered before using either of
them.
1 the type of
chair
2 the intent of
the speaker
1
椅子的类型。有扶手靠背的“深”椅子用in。
sit
on for a dinner chair, stool, bench or a chair that has neither
arms nor back for you to rest on whereas you use sit
in for armchairs or any cozy /comfortable
chair.
2
说话人的目的意图。 想说“葛优躺”用sit
in, 想表达“正襟危坐”用sit
on.
the choice of
ex-pression is not determined by the chair type but by the intent
of the speaker, that is, what the speak in mind.When you tell
someone to sit in the chair you are invariably asking the person to
make himself comfortable in the chair, which is different form when
you use sit on.
