谈谈介词（一）

介词在英语用词里也属于难缠的一个项目。因为它涉及方面很广，而且变化多端，往往令人捉摸不定，记起来很麻烦。介词英文叫作Preposition (简称prep)，它由pre和position组成，pre是前面的意思，而position是位置的意思。因此以前中文译作“前置词”，就是一种放在名词(或相当于名词的词语)前面的虚词。



一、常用的介词



about, above, across, after, against, around, at,

before, behind, below, beneath, beside, besides, between, beyond, by,

down,during,







except,

for,from,

in,inside,into,

like,

near,

of,off,on,out,outside,over,

since,

through,throughout,till,to,toward,

under,until,up,upon,

with,without,

according to,

because of,

by way of,

in addition to,

in front of,

in place of,

in regard to,

in spite of,

instead of,

on account of,

out of.



其实大部份的介词都不难理解，比较令人头痛的只是下列几个：



at, by, to,　in,　for,　of,　on,　from,　with



其中又以 at, by, in, on为四大“要犯”！学习介词就是要抓住这几“要犯”。有人写了一首《介词口诀》来帮助学习者；也有人写了《Preposition Song》令学习者一面唱歌一面轻松地记忆介词的用法。同学们可以借助这个方法有针对性地记忆常用介词：
