关于entrance后接介词toof的问题

 

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.net) 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。
