3 动词加不加介词about的区别

高中新教材人教版《英语必修一》p.1有如下句子:

In the unit, you will read about a student's first day of school.

In the unit, you will hear and talk about choosing and registering for courses.

In the unit, you will learn about first-year senior high school students in different countries.

请问这里的 read about, hear about, talk about, learn about为什么要加上介词 about 呢?可以省略吗?

1.你列的四个短语 read about, hear about, talk about, learn about,其中 talk about 与其他三个不一样,talk 通常是不及物动词(某些特殊用法作及物动词用,另论),它必须要先接介词才能接宾语。talk about 意思是“谈论”。如:

We were talking about you just last night. 昨晚我们还说起你呢。

English people love to talk about the weather. 英格兰人喜欢谈论天气。

2.至于其他三个,read about, hear about, learn about,即使去掉介词 about,它们也可以接宾语,但接不接介词意思有区别,大致的原则是加上介词about,表示“间接性”。比较:

read a book 读一本书(直接拿着书读)

read about a book 读到关于某本书的情况(比如你在读一篇文章,而该文章提到了某本书,你据此了解到了某书的情况,此时可以说You read about the book

再比较:

I heard Mary. 我听到了玛丽的声音(即听到她讲话)。

I heard about Mary. 我听说过玛丽(即听人说起过她)。

3.至于learn about,它与前面的两个短语稍有不同:即 learn 表示“得知”“了解”时,可用作及物或不及物动词,通常的用法是:若后接从句作宾语,它是及物的;若后接名词作宾语,则通常不及物,需先接介词 about of 再接宾语。比较:

We learnt that he wasn’t a qualified doctor. 我们了解到他不是一名合格的医生。

I only learnt about / of the accident later. 那起事故我只是后来才听说的。

注:learn 表示“了解”时,有时也接名词或代词作宾语,但主要限于表示消息、事实真相等抽象名词。如:

I didn't tell her the truth. She would learn it for herself soon enough. 我没有告诉她真相,很快她自己就会知道的。

How did they react when they learned the news? 他们听到这个消息有什么反应?

4. 网友三个句子的意思:

In the unit, you will read about a student's first day of school. 在本单元,你会读到一名学生开学第一天的情况。

In the unit, you will hear and talk about choosing and registering for courses. 在本单元,你会了解和谈论选课和注册课程。

In the unit, you will learn about first-year senior high school students in different countries. 在本单元,你会了解到不同国家高中一年级学生的情况。
