名词light的三类用法及搭配习惯
一、表示“光线”“亮光”,一般为不可数名词;表示“在……亮光下”,可用介词 in 或 by。其区别是:用 in 通常只客观地表示“在……亮光下”,而用 by 则暗示“凭借亮光做……”之意。如:
They went out for a walk in the moonlight. 他们在月光下到外面散了步。
He worked by the light of the moon. 他在月光下工作(即凭借月光工作)。
The light is too weak to read by. 光线太暗不能看书。
二、表示“灯”,注意搭配:
The light is [goes] out. 灯熄了。
The light is [comes, goes] on. 灯亮了。
He turned [switched, put] on the light. 他打开灯。
He turned [switched, put] off the light. 他关掉灯。
三、表示“火”,通常只指抽烟用的“火”,注意不要与 fire 弄混。如:
能借个火吗?
误:Have you got a fire, please?
误:Can you give me a fire, please?
正:Have you got a light, please?
正:Can you give me a light, please?
