误I arranged to go my friend's home for tea.
正I arranged to go to my friend's home for tea.
析如果home前有名词所有格或物主代词,则 home 用作名词,要加适当的介词。
他抛弃了舒适的家。误He abandoned his cosy family.
正He abandoned his cosy home.
析本句的意思是舍弃了舒适的家(庭条件),而不是“弃家人于不顾”,应该用home。误句的意思是“抛妻弃子”。
他出生在一个医生的家庭里。误He was born into a doctor's home.
正He was born into a doctor's family.
析be born into home不一定说明出身, be born into family(家庭)才表示某人的出身。
误He didn't know whether to wait or go to home.
正He didn't know whether to wait or go home.
析跟在come, go, arrive, get, send, take, bring等动态动词后面的 home为副词,不应加介词。
他下班回家了吗?误Is he at home from work?
正Is he home from work?
析be home可以表示“(下班)回家”“回来”,相当于 return home; be at home 可以表示“在家里”,相当于 in the house。
住在家中(走读)可以给学生省下很多钱。误Living home would save the student a lot of money.
正Living at home would save the student a lot of money.
析home用作副词时一般与be或go等动态动词连用表示方向。如果与静态动词(如本句中的live)连用时表示位置,一般用at home。
