peer agreement (net): +1Look below: Explanation: Call on和call at的意思一樣，都是"拜訪""訪問"，但call on後接表示人的名詞或代詞，call at 後接表示地點或場所的詞語。試比較： I called on the Smiths yesterday. 我昨天拜訪了史密斯一家人。 I called at the Smith's yesterday. 我昨天去了史密斯家。 I called on the doctor yesterday. 我昨天去拜訪了醫生。 I called at the doctor's yesterday. 我昨天去了醫務室。 另外，call on還可以"號召"，後面往往接動詞不定式作賓語補主語。如： The headmaster called on the students to work harder.校長號召學生們更努力地學習。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-08-06 02:27:13 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.cycnet.com/englishcorner/vocabulary/call.htm Reference: http://61.136.61.58:81/gate/big5/www.cycnet.com/englishcorne... |
