知识加油站

★ spend 的主语只能是人,不能是物;其宾语可以是时间, 也可以是金钱,意为“用,花费,消耗”。

例 :She spends too much time on her homework.

她在家庭作业上用了太多时间。

They spend two hours (in)doing exercises every day.

他们每天花两个小时的时间锻炼。

★ 区别 alone 与 lonely:在上面的句子中,alone 作副词,意为“独自地”,修饰 visit。但 alone 也可作形容词,多指一个人的状态,不带感情色彩,意为“单独的,独自的”;而 lonely 更强调的是孤独感,意为“孤独的,寂寞的”,只能作形容词。

例 :If you feel lonely, you can give me a call.

当你孤独的时候,你可以打电话给我。
