bed是否連用冠詞或其他限定詞的問題
一、一般說來,表示與“睡覺”這一概念有關(guān)時,通常不用冠詞或其它限定詞,反之則用:
It is too early for bed. 現(xiàn)在睡覺太早了。
He went to bed at 9 last night. 他昨晚9點上床睡覺。
He wentto the bed and found a letter on it. 他走到床邊,發(fā)現(xiàn)上面放著一封信。
He sat by the bed, watching TV. 他坐在床邊看電視。
二、與介詞in連用時,通常不用冠詞;而與介詞on連用時,通常要有冠詞:
He is still in bed. 他還在睡覺。
He’s sick in bed witha cold. 他因感冒而臥床。
There is a box on the bed. 床上有個盒子。
有時兩者都可以用,只是搭配不同而已:
躺在床上看書是個壞習慣。
正:It is a bad habit to read in bed.
正:It is a bad habit to read on a [the] bed.
三、與介詞into, out of 等連用時也通常不用冠詞或其它限定詞:
He got into bed quickly. 他很快上了床。
He jumped out of bed as soon as he heard the bell. 他一聽到鈴聲就跳下了床。
