listen to,listen for 这两个片语都有听的意思,但词义有细微的差异。 Listen to表示静静地听的意思,多半用于已被听见的场合。例: Fellow students,you should listen to what the teacher says carefully. 同学们,你们要认真地听老师讲课。 We listen to Radio Hong Kong every morning. 每天早上我们收听香港电台。 Listen for表示用心倾听之意,目的是要找出声音来,多用于尚未听到的场合。例: Annie will come in any moment;we are all listening for her footsteps. 安妮可能随时来到,我们大家都在侧耳倾听她的脚步声。 We stood without the gate and listened for the sound of his voice,but in vain. 我们站在门外侧耳倾听他的说话声,但一点也听不到。 Listen in也表示倾听的意思,但它专用以指收听无线电或广播。如: I listened in to the President this morning. 今天早上我收听总统演说。 Listen in 也可解作偷听如:listen in to a private conversation(窃 听私人谈话)。 |
