introduce表示“介绍”时的用法

1. introduce表示“介绍”时的意思是to tell two or more people who have not met before what each others’ names are(告诉两个或多个原来未曾见面的人他们彼此的名字),或者是to tell the audience the name of the person who is going to speak or perform(告诉观众讲演者或演员的名字),也就是说,introduce表示“介绍”时,主要用于介绍两个不认识的互相认识,或是向听众或观众宣布并介绍演讲者或广播、节目等的细节。如:

Allow me to introduce my wife. 让我介绍一下,这是我太太。

It is my pleasure to introduce tonight’s speaker. 我很荣幸来介绍今晚的演讲者。

2. 有时汉语中说“介绍”,其实是指“推荐”,此时应用recommend,而不能用introduce。如:

3. 经常听到有的人在表示“介绍情况”“介绍某学校”“介绍某国家”“介绍某机构”等场合使用introduce,其实也是对introduce的误用。如:
