eat breakfast这样表达吃早饭对吗?
eat breakfast 这样表达吃早饭没有错误,语法是正确的。
吃喝在英语里常用的有三种表达方式,eat , take , have。
那么如何用eat,take,have表达吃东西,具体区分如下:
1.eat 流行于美国,既可指“吃”,也可指“喝”,但作“喝” 讲时通常用于“喝”汤之类,如: She is eating bread. (她正在吃面包。) Do you like to eat soup? (你喜欢喝汤吗?)
2.have 为普通用语,有“吃、喝”之意,但在英国多用 have 代替 drink,在美国常用 eat 代替 have。当与 meal、 dinne r 以及三餐名词连用时,多用 have,而不用其它词,如: Han Mei usually has lunch at home. (韩梅通常在家吃午饭。) She wants to have a cup of tea.(她想喝杯茶。)
3.take 作“吃、喝”比 eat 更为少见,主要用于“服药”, 如: Will you take a cup of tea?(你想喝杯茶吗?) Take this medicine after each meal. (每顿饭后服用此药。 )
如果你需要应试的话,且这两种表达都出现,那建议选择have breakfast。
扩展资料:
表示“吃早餐”,用动词 have breakfast 或 eat breakfast 均可。用have的例子太多,自不用说。下面是用动词 eat 的例子:
Jane never eats breakfast. 简从来不吃早餐。(《剑桥高级英语词典》)
He had hunger pangs that went away after he ate breakfast. 吃过早饭之后他因饥饿感到的剧痛便消失了。(《当代美国英语学习词典》)
What he does makes him like a father or uncle.
关于这个句子,单独说 a father 没有问题,单独说 a uncle 是有问题的,但合起来说a father or uncle 就没问题了。这样的现象在英语中很普遍,除了陈老师举的例子 a short form of a word or expression(缩略语,缩写)外,再举几个词典上的例子,下面的例子是从《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》上查来的:
(1)《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》对 act 的一条释义为:to behave or speak in a false or artificial way 装模作样;装腔作势;做戏
(2)《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》对用作动词的 address 的一条释义为:to write a name or address on an envelope or parcel 在(信封或包裹)上写上姓名(或地址)
(3)《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》对用作动词的 adjudicate 的一条释义为:to act as judge in a competition or argument, or to make a formal decision about something 担任裁判;判决,裁定,裁决
(4)《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》对用作动词的 adorable 的一条释义为:describes a person or animal that is easy to love because they are so attractive and often small 可爱的;讨人喜欢的
(5)《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》对用作动词的 adult 的一条释义为:a person or animal that has grown to full size and strength 成年人;成年动物
比较谨慎的说法最好是分别使用冠词,比如 ...a father or an uncle / ?a word or an expression / ?a name or an address / a competition or an argument 等。所以,如果是在考试中,最好采用这种“谨慎”的说法。
