请问专家 tip 后是一定用 for 吗?start with 和 start by 是什么意思,有什么区别,请举出几个明显不同的例句。谢谢老师!
本题答案应是 A。
▲表示“对做某事的建议”,tip 后面习惯上接介词 on 或 for,不接 of。如:
He gave us some tips for saving money. 他给我们提了些存钱的建议。
Do you have any tips on buying a second-hand car? 对于购买二手车你有何高见?
▲start by doing 为英语中的惯用搭配,意思是“以做某事开始”“先做某事”。如:
We’ll start by washing the floor. 我们先冲地板。
Start by melting the butter in the frying pan. 先把奶油溶在煎锅里。
start with 也可表示“从……开始”,但后面接名词。如:
Let’s start with this first piece of music. 咱们从这第一首曲子开始吧。
We’ll start with a bit of dancing to get the adrenalin going. 我们先跳一下舞热热身。
We have four items to discuss today; we’ll start with item one. 今天我们要讨论四个问题,我们从第一个开始。
另外,注意 to start with 这一固定搭配,其意为“在开始时,起初,首先”。如:
To start with, we haven’t got enough money. 首先我们没有足够的钱。
