preposition
의미: A word governing a noun or pronoun to express a relation of place, time, direction, or means, such as 'in,' 'on,' 'at,' 'by,' 'with,' and 'from.'
Prepositions are notoriously difficult for language learners because their usage is largely idiomatic and does not transfer predictably between languages. The traditional rule against ending a sentence with a preposition has been widely rejected by modern grammarians; Churchill's apocryphal quip 'This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put' neatly illustrates the absurdity of the prescription.
예문
- The preposition 'at' is used for specific times and places, as in 'at six o'clock' and 'at the station. 介词'at'用于具体的时间和地点,如'at six o'clock'和'at the station'。La preposición 'at' se usa para tiempos y lugares específicos, como en 'at six o'clock' y 'at the station'.前置詞「at」は「at six o'clock」や「at the station」のように特定の時刻や場所に用いられる。전치사 'at'은 'at six o'clock'이나 'at the station'처럼 특정 시각이나 장소에 사용된다.
- Choosing the correct preposition after verbs like 'depend' and 'rely' is essential for natural-sounding English. 在'depend'和'rely'等动词后选择正确的介词对于自然流畅的英语至关重要。Elegir la preposición correcta tras verbos como 'depend' y 'rely' es esencial para que el inglés suene natural.「depend」や「rely」のような動詞の後に正しい前置詞を選ぶことは、自然な英語にとって不可欠である。depend'나 'rely'와 같은 동사 뒤에 올바른 전치사를 선택하는 것은 자연스러운 영어에 필수적이다.
- Ending a sentence with a preposition is perfectly acceptable in modern English, despite what older style guides claimed. 以介词结尾句子在现代英语中完全可以接受,尽管旧式语法指南曾提出相反的主张。Terminar una oración con una preposición es perfectamente aceptable en el inglés moderno, a pesar de lo que afirmaban las guías de estilo antiguas.文を前置詞で終えることは現代英語では全く問題ないが、古い文体指南ではそうではないと主張されていた。문장을 전치사로 끝내는 것은 현대 영어에서 전혀 문제가 없지만, 오래된 문체 지침에서는 그렇지 않다고 주장했다.
