在英语考试试题中,看到不少提问形式。
如:
What can we learn about the author?
What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?
What do we know about Susanna Reid?
What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
请问这learn about与know about的不同之处?是否两者可以互换?
再如:
We learn from the ads that the Enterprise Shopping Centre needs a person.
We know from the text that Ginger Gray ...
learn from和know from的不同之处?是否两者可以互换?
网友的问法不太适合,不可以说know about 与 learn about有什么区别。
know 和 learn 都是及物动词,它们都是有宾语的——宾语就是开头的What。而about 介词短语是修饰what 的定语。大家把其中一个变成陈述句,看一下:
We (主语)can know (动词)nothing (宾语)about the auther.(定语)
大家对作者的状况一无所知。原来的what 变成了nothing。
假如说不同,就是know 和 learn 在词义上有什么区别。其实,在这里是近义词,都是“知道;获悉”。不需要不同。
关于这两句:
We knowfrom the ads that the Enterprise Shopping Centre needs a person.
We learnfrom the ads that the Enterprise Shopping Centre needs a person.
know 和 learn 都是接that 宾语从句,from 表示“从哪儿获悉,了解”。
