托福語(yǔ)法技巧:the(定冠詞)在home等之前的省略

字號(hào):

home
    當(dāng)home單獨(dú)使用即前后不加修飾詞或短語(yǔ)時(shí),不用定冠詞:
    He is at home.
    他在家。
    當(dāng)home單獨(dú)使用時(shí),可以直接跟在具有運(yùn)動(dòng)意義的動(dòng)詞之后,或緊隨在具有運(yùn)動(dòng)意義的動(dòng)詞+賓語(yǔ)之后。換句話說(shuō),
    home可以當(dāng)副詞使用:
    He went home.   他回家了。
    I arrived home after dark.
    我天黑以后到家的。
    但是,當(dāng)home之前或之后帶有修飾詞或修飾短語(yǔ)時(shí),其用法
    和其他名詞相同:
    They went to their new home.
    他們到自已的新家去了。
    We arrived at the bride’s home.
    我們到了新娘的家。
    For some years this was the home of your queen.
    曾有些年頭這里是你們王后的家。
    A mud hut was the only home he had ever known.
    一間小土屋就是他所知道的的家。
