介词拉杂谈
日期:2007-12-30
介词在英语用词里也属于难缠的一个项目。因为它涉及方面很广，而且变化多端，往
往令人捉摸不定，记起来很麻烦。因此就有有心人弄了一个《介词口诀》来帮助学习者
；也有人写了《Preposition Song》令学习者一面唱歌一面轻松地记忆介词的用法。
介词英文叫作Preposition (简称prep)，它由pre和position组成，pre是前面的意
思，而position是位置的意思。因此以前中文译作“前置词”，就是一种放在名词(或
相当于名词的词语)前面的虚词。
常用的介词
about,above,across,after,against,around,at,
before,behind,below,beneath,beside,besides,between,beyond,by,
down,during,
except,
for,from,
in,inside,into,
like,
near,
of,off,on,out,outside,over,
since,
through,throughout,till,to,toward,
under,until,up,upon,
with,without,
according to,
because of,
by way of,
in addition to,
in front of,
in place of,
in regard to,
in spite of,
instead of,
on account of,
out of.
哇，这么一大堆！别怕别怕，大部份的介词都不难理解，比较令人头痛的只是下列几个
：
at, by, to, in, for, of, on, from, with
其中又以 at, by, in, on 为四大“要犯"！学习介词就是要抓住这几"要犯"，看招
吧，嘿嘿!!
这回就谈到这里吧，噢，对了，下回就让我们先来一道《Preposition Song》洋餐吧。

怎样？唱完十段歌词，你就学到许多介词用法喽。其中包括四大“要犯”at, by, in,
on。另外再加上许多虫虫蚁蚁，有的还得劳驾找一找喔，呵呵。
大家多唱几遍，下回我们再见时，你就更加胸有成“介”了，哈哈。
这里提供一个学习介词at, in, on 的幻灯片文件(PowerPoint)，可供初学者使用。其
内容包括有关介词用法课文、通过歌曲学介词、通过一个请柬学习介词、测验题。其中
所有中文都是我附上的。

2. I live in England, at London. 我住在英国伦敦。(England大过London喔)
3. I live in a big city, my sister lives at a small town. 我住在大城市，我
姐姐住在一个小市镇。(如果把city看做一个圆圈，small town就成一个点。因此就in
a city, at a small town. 呵呵)
4. We have a meeting in Beijing. 我们有北京有一个会议。
5. Mars is in the Solar System. 火星在太阳系里。
6. in a car 乘汽车 (不是 on a car 也不是 by a car 喔)

a taxi, in a boat, in a helicopter, in the sky ... 可想象为“In 北京，乘汽
车，乘的士，再乘小船，乘上直升机在空中飞”。
