The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane.这里能用in the plane 吗? 与on the plane有什么区别。
用on the plane,不用in
如果你坐的交通工具足够大到你可以转身,行走,我们用on,如bus,train等。同样plane用on,依然表示炸弹在飞机内,不在飞机外表。
in the plane 与 on the plane 的区别:
in a/the plane 乘飞机 I've never flown in a plane. 我从未乘坐过飞机。
on a/the plane 在飞机上 The president was never on the plane at all. 总统根本就没有上过这架飞机。
(意思摘自《牛津英语搭配词典》第2版英汉双解版)
在网友的句子中,表示“在飞机上”,所以应该用 on the plane 不能用 in the plane。
