同学们,我们在日常生活中乘坐各种交通工具,英语中表达乘坐交通工具的方法有很多种,现给大家作一简单介绍:

1.用“by+交通工具名词”表示交通方式。如:by bus乘公共汽车;by taxi乘出租车;by car乘小汽车;by train乘火车;by bike骑自行车;by plane乘飞机;by boat乘船;by ship乘轮船等。例如:

I go to work by bus every day. 我每天乘公共汽车去上班。

[特别提醒]

在英语中,要表示乘坐某种交通工具可用by。介词by表示“乘”时,其后可直接跟表示交通工具的名词,该名词必须用单数形式,且前面不能有代词或冠词修饰。例如:他每天骑自行车去上学。

误:He goes to school by the bike every day.

正:He goes to school by bike every day.

2.用“in/on+冠词/物主代词+交通工具”表示交通方式。例如:on a bus乘公共汽车; on a boat/ship乘船; on a train坐火车; on a bike骑自行车; in a car坐小汽车; in a plane乘飞机。例如:

Tom often goes to school on a bus, but Jim goes on his bike.

汤姆常常坐公共汽车去学校,但吉姆却骑自行车。

[特别提醒]

(1)骑自行车常用on a bike或by bike, 而不能用in a bike。骑马、骑骆驼等用on, 如:on a horse, on the camel等。在表示交通工具的名词前若有具体的时刻修饰时,则用介词by或on均可。如:by(on) the 7:00 bus.

(2)on foot“步行”不加“冠词/物主代词”。例如:

I go to work on foot every day. 我每天步行上班。

3.用“take a/the+交通工具名词”表示交通方式。如:take a bus乘公共汽车; take a taxi乘出租车; take a train乘火车; take a plane乘飞机。例如:

We can take a train to Beijing. 我们可以乘火车去北京。

注意:ride a bike “骑自行车”。如:

I ride a bike to work every day. 我每天骑自行车上班。

4.用“by+交通的空间或路线”表示“通过陆路、水路、航空”等。如:by land由陆路;by water由水陆;by sea坐轮船;by air乘飞机;by rail乘火车。例如:

Lucy often goes home by sea/by ship. 露西经常乘船回家。

注意:by sea=by ship; by air=by plane; by rail=by train

5.用某些动词来表示交通方式。如:walk to步行去; drive to开车去; ride to骑马/车去; fly to乘飞机去等。

注意:后面接地点副词here, there, home时,介词to应省去。例如:

My father usually walks home. 我父亲通常步行回家。

6.交通工具作动词使用。例如:

He taxied to the station. 他乘出租车到了车站。

We will bus the children to school.

我们将用公共汽车把孩子送到学校去。

[小试牛刀]同义句转换,每空一词。
