home前使用冠词的规律
■当home单独使用即前后不加修饰词或短语时,不用定冠词:
I had the luck to find him at home. 我运气不错,他正好在家。
As it’s raining, we’ll have to stay at home. 因为天下雨,我们得待在家里。
Jack took a momentous decision to run away from home. 杰克做出一个重要决定——离家出走。
■当home单独使用时,可以直接跟在具有运动意义的动词之后,或紧随在具有运动意义的动词+宾语之后。换句话说,home可以当副词使用:
May I have permission to go home early? 能允许我早回家吗?
Not knowing what to do, I went home. 我不知道怎么办好,就回家了。
We arrived home towards evening. 快天黑时我们到家了。
■当home之前或之后带有修饰词或修饰短语时,其用法和其他名词相同:
They went to their new home. 他们到自已的新家去了。
We arrived at the bride’s home. 我们到了新娘的家(www.hxen.net)。
For some years this was the home of your queen. 曾有些年头这里是你们王后的家。
