home用作副词时,最一般连用的介词是at。如:
Jane works at home. 简在家工作。
He found it impossible to study at home. 他感觉不可能在家学习。
If it rained tomorrow, we’d stay at home. 假如明天下雨,大家将待在家。
除at外,home还可连用什么介词?
连用 at
If necessary, ring me at home. 假如必要,可往我家打电话。
I had the luck to find him at home. 我非常幸运,找他时他正在家。
If it rained tomorrow, I would stay at home. 如果明天下雨,我就呆在家。
连用 for
The following morning she left for home. 第二天早上她就动身回家了。
Our mission accomplished, we headed for home. 完成任务后,大家就返回了。
连用 from
She supposed him to be away from home. 她觉得他不在家。
I havent been away from home before. 我以前没离开过家。
连用to
Each footstep brought him closer to home. 每一步路使他离家更近。
I love the job, and its an added bonus that its so close to home. 我喜欢这个工作,它还有个优点是离家非常近。
但此使用方法只限于某些特定的搭配,如close to, fromto等,但不可以说go to home, return to home等(应去掉to)。
连用without
According to the revised estimate, four million people will be without homes. 依据修改过的估计,400 万人将无家可归。(句中的home用了复数,说明它已是名词)
