Ask & Learn闻问切英语口语:Use / using
读者 Peter 寄来两个问题﹕
1. I am proud of you 和 I feel proud of you 有没有不同?
2.下面两句哪一句对?
(a) Please book a tennis court use this number, 98765432.
(b) Please book a tennis court using this number, 98765432.
问题一的两句意思是一样,只不过用不同的方法说出来而已。至于问题二的第一句,问题出自两句句子连在一起,应该把它们拆开成两句独立的句子:
Please book a tennis court. Use this number, 98765432.
第二句则应在 court 和 using 中间加逗号:Please book a tennis court, using this number, 98765432.
然而,这样修改过后,文法上是对了,但听起来还是很生硬,不像日常交谈。想自然一点,可说成 "Please book a tennis court with this number, 98765432"。不然,就像第一句那样,一分为二:
Please book a tennis court. Use this number, 98765432.
