【难点释疑】
一、常用介词辨异
1. about，on，of 关于
①on多用于慎重的、正式的语言交际场合。常见于＂学术上＂的＂论文＂或＂演说＂等题目，可供专门研
究这一问题的人阅读，有＂论及＂之意。
②about表示的内容多为普遍、不那么正式，有＂述及＂之意。
③of作＂关于＂讲，表示提及、涉及某人（事）时，只表示事情存在或发生，并不涉及详情；有时与about意义相近，但有时意义很不同，常与动词know、hear、learn（听说）、speak、talk、think、tell等
连用。
2. except，except for，except that，but，besides，beside
①except＂除……之外＂，指不包括……，后面常接名词、代词（人称代词常用宾格），还可接介词短语
副词和动词不定式，此时相当于but，但不定式常不带to。
②except for＂除了，只有＂，意思和except一样，主要指说明基本情况后，而在细节上加以修正，后面常
接名词性短语。
③except that＂除了，只是＂，意思和except、except for一样。但在用法上，其后常接名词性从句，也可接
when、where等词引导的其他从句。
④but所含＂除……外＂的意思不如except明确。but多用在代词（主要是不定代词、否定代词和疑问代
词）之后。
⑤besides表示＂除……外还有＂，所排除的事物常包括在所述范围之内。另外，besides可用作副词，相当
于also，有＂而且，加之，何况＂之意。
⑥beside也是介词，表示＂在附近＂，只不过形似besides，容易相互混淆。
如果在区别前后有同类的词语时，就用except，否则就用except for。
3. including，included
①including是一个介词，意为＂包括＂，它一般放在包括对象的前面。
②included是一个过去分词，意为＂包括＂。它一般用于被动语态中，也可放在包括对象的后面。
4. in，later，during 都与时段名词搭配
①in作介词，同时段名词搭配，即＂in + 时段名词＂，一般用于将来时。
②later表示＂……以后＂，常同时段名词搭配，即＂时段名词 + later＂，常与过去时连用。
③during作介词时，同时段名词搭配，即＂during + 时段名词＂，常与现在时或将来时等连用。
5. in，with，by 用
①with通常指＂用＂具体的或有形的工具、器官等，有时也表示＂用＂某种手段、音调等。
②by作介词表示＂用＂时，一般指＂用＂方式、手段等。后面常接动名词或名词，后面接名词时，该名词
前面一般不加修饰语。
③in指＂用＂语言、字体、墨水、体裁、风格、方式、现金、顺序等。
二、介词的省略
1. 当表示时间的词前有this，that，next，last，every，each，some，any，all等时，介词常省略。
Come any day you like. 你想哪天来就哪天来。
2. 表示时间的名词前有不定冠词，且不定冠词作＂每一……＂解时，前面不用介词。An apple a day keeps the doctor away. 每天吃一个苹果，医生不找我。
3. 习惯搭配中介词的省略
一些常和动词、名词或形容词搭配的介词常省略，常见的此类搭配有：spend money/time (in) doing sth，
waste money/time (in) doing sth，have difficulty/trouble (in) doing sth，be busy doing sth，stop/prevent sb
(from) doing sth等。
三、介词不可遗漏的情况
1. 含有不及物动词的不定式在形容词easy，hard，difficult，comfortable等后作状语，且构成不定式的动词
与句子的主语存在动宾关系或主语是不定式动作发生的地点时，介词不能遗漏。
The chair is comfortable to sit on/in. 这把椅子坐着舒服。
The man is difficult to work with. 这个人很难共事。
2. 当非谓语动词表示被动意义时，相关介词也不可省略。
The problem is well worth paying attention to. 这个问题很值得关注。
3. 在被动语态中，动词短语中的介词不能遗漏。
Your pronunciation should be paid attention to. 你应该注意你的发音。
4. 在定语从句中，当从句的谓语和先行词构成动宾关系且从句谓语为不及物动词时，必须加上介词。
The library which we often go to is not far away from our school. 我们经常去的那个图书馆离我们的学校不
远。
5. 在too...to...，enough... to...，so... as to...等结构中，含有不及物动词的不定式作结果状语，构成不定式的
动词为不及物动词，且该动词与主语构成动宾关系或主语为不定式动作发生的地点时，介词不能遗漏。
The ice is too thin to skate on. 冰太薄了，不能在上面滑。
