各位新老学员,欢迎走进我们今天的《可可说法话茬》教室。我们今天来看看如何用英文来正确表达下面这个意思:
他们相互都不让步。
有人是这样说的:
They did not give in each other.
这个说法是错误的。Each other属于复合代词,它不能用作“状语”,只能做介词或动词的宾语。例如:
It happened that they did not like each other, but had to work together. 碰巧他们都不喜欢对方,但是又不得不在一起共事。
He and his classmates often talk to each other in English. 他和同学们经常用英语交谈。
因此,“他们相互都不让步。”的正确表达是:
They did not give in to each other.
顺便说一下,表示“让步,屈服”可以用句中的“give in”这个动词短语。
我们今天的学习就到此结束了,希望您有所收获。I am Juliet. See you next time.
