我们来看几组
英语六级考试中跟冠词有着千丝万缕联系的词组1. inpossessionof… & in the possession of…
拥有、占有之意,两个短语唯一的区别就是一个the。in possession of…应使用人作为句子的主语,而in the possession of…则要使用物作为主语,of后跟someone。
例句:He was caught in possession of a gun and some drugs.那个嫌疑犯被逮住的时候被发现携有一支枪和一些毒品。这句话也可以转换为A gun and some drugs were in the possession ofthe suspect when he was caught.2. in charge of… & in someone’s charge
管理、负责之意。这组短语和第一组类似,主语是人还是物,大家一定要留心。
例句:He was selected to be in charge of the new department. 他被选做这个新部门的负责人。The new department was in the manager’s charge since it wasfounded. 这个新部门成立时就是由经理来负责的。3. in fashion & in a fashion
in fashion意为正在流行,相关短语还有come into fashion开始流行、bring…into fashion使某物流行。
例句:Jeans are still in fashion this year. 今年牛仔裤仍旧十分流行。若是在中间加了冠词a,意思可就截然不同了。in a fashion意为勉强、马马虎虎,和after a fashion意思相同。
例句:Jennifer told me she could play tennis in a fashion/after a fashion.珍妮弗告诉我她
网球打得马马虎虎。
