1 watch out the glass与watch out for the glass辨误

今天在一家商店看到这样一句:

watch out the glass 当心玻璃

我感觉这不对,应该是 watch out for the glass 吧?

请问:我的判断对吗?到底可不可以说 watch out the glass?

你的理解是正确的,watch out for the glass是正确表达,当心某事/某人必须加介词for , watch out for sb/ sth

(1)watch out当心/小心,提防(不愉快的事情或陷入困境)英文解释:If you tell someone to watch out, you are warning them to be careful, because something unpleasant might happen to them or they might get into difficulties

You have to watch out because there are land mines all over the place。

 你必须小心,这里到处是地雷。

The casinos in Las Vegas had better watch out since I'm obviously on a lucky streak! 拉斯韦加斯的赌场要小心了,因为我显然正红运当头!


(2)watch out for sth/sb当心/注意/警惕某事/某人;戒备/提防/密切注意某事/某人

We should watch out for those friends in disguise.

我们应当提防伪装的朋友。

He asked me to watch out for his uncle who would be wearing a green suit.

A:(动词用法)

(1)watch的基本意思是“观看”“注视”,指用眼睛跟踪某物以观察到每一个动作、变化、危险迹象、机会等。引申可表示“照管”“守护,保卫”等,指明确需要警觉,做好防止危险发生的准备,强调连续性和职务性。


(2)watch既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、代词、that从句或由疑问词引导的从句作宾语,还可接以不带to的动词不定式、现在分词或过去分词充当补足语的复合宾语。用作不及物动词时,常与out, over等连用。


(3)watch接复合宾语时一般不可变为被动结构。

B:(名词用法)

(1)watch用作名词时意思是“看守”,表示抽象的动作,也可指“看守者”“水手值班的一班”,旧时还可指“巡夜警察”。


(2)watch也可用作“表,手表”解。


(3)watch常与介词on, for, over连用。


(4)watch常与动词keep连用,其后接for, on, over时watch前可加也可不加不定冠词a,其后不接介词时,即keep watch作“站岗”“守业”解时, watch前不可加不定冠词。

网友的质疑是有道理的。watch out表示小心,当心时,是不及物动词,不能后接宾语。后接宾语需要通过介词for.  watch out for sth.

国内类似的英语错误太多了。

    watch out不能后接宾语;如果后接宾语,应该用 watch out for例如:
