Question

4．在學(xué)期開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，我媽媽給我買了一個(gè)新書(shū)包．
At the beginning ofthe term，my mother bought me a new bag．

Answer 1

分析 At the beginning of．

解答 答案：At the beginning of．表示在…開(kāi)始的時(shí)候用短語(yǔ)at the beginning of，故答案是At the beginning of．

點(diǎn)評(píng) at the beginning 與in the beginning 在用法上由一些區(qū)別．in the beginning 通常單獨(dú)用作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)或定語(yǔ)，而較少和of短語(yǔ)連用，意為"起初；在開(kāi)始的時(shí)候"，暗含著后來(lái)又變化的意思．如：In the beginning we thought we'd better get it all arranged．在開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，我們以為不會(huì)把它全安排好．You will find it rather difficult in the beginning．你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它在開(kāi)始的時(shí)候是相當(dāng)難的．In the beginning I felt very lonesome in London．起初，我在倫敦覺(jué)得非常孤獨(dú)．a(chǎn)t the beginning 常常跟of短語(yǔ)連用，如果后面沒(méi)有跟of短語(yǔ)，則大都可以從上下文看出來(lái)．如：At the beginning of this century a great many Europeans went to live in the USA．本世紀(jì)初許多歐洲人去美國(guó)居住.2．Start at the beginning and read until you get to the bottom of Page Thirteen．從第13頁(yè)開(kāi)頭開(kāi)始讀，一直讀到第13頁(yè)末尾．應(yīng)當(dāng)注意，at the beginning 在單獨(dú)使用時(shí)，有時(shí)與in the beginning 同義．如：He disliked it at/in the beginning．At the beginning he wasn't interested in it．
