你在学英语吗?你是想要learn English,还是想study English?是不是感到困惑了?这两句话不都是“学英语”的意思吗?其实它们是有区别的,请看下面的解析。
首先,让我们来看一看learn和study的意思是什么。
learn:to gain knowledge of a subject or skill by experience, by studying it, or by being taught.
例如:1. I learn English well, because Robert is a very good teacher.
2. I didn’t tell her the truth. She would learn it for herself soon enough.
study: to spend time reading, going to classes etc in order to learn about a subject.
例如:1. I study English, and Robert is teaching me.
2. I was studying English at home last night.
簡单来说,learn特指通过学习获得了知识,study特指学习某个东西的举动或过程。一个强调结果,学到东西;另外一个强调过程,只是在学东西。为了让你更好地理解这两个词的差异,你还可以看看以下这些例句:
1. If you study hard, you will learn English well.
(如果你努力学,一定能学好英语。)
2. I’ve learnt nothing, because I study English in a negative way.
(我什么都没学到,因为我学英语的方式很消极。)
3. I’ve learnt something great through my hard study.
(通过努力的学习,我学到了一些很棒的东西。)
你能更好地感觉到这种差别了吗?study仅仅是做出学的举动,如果你只想study不想learn,注定就学不会英语了……慢着,还有个问题,你发现例句3里面的study是名词了吗?其实,除了意思上的区别之外,study还可以作为名词使用,learn 不可直接作为名词使用。
例如:1. I know 10 ways to improve your study skills.
2. My brother is fond of study.
