“换一个”=change another吗

高考临近,小编为大家准备了些高考短语及其用法和搭配,希望大家能从中获益!

要表示英语的“换一个”,是change another, 还是change it for another?请看下面的考题:

The camera isn’t good enough; I want to change ______.

A. another B. a good one

C. it with another D. it for another

【分析】此题容易根据汉语字面意思误选A、B。其实,此题最佳答案为D。英语中的 change sth 表示的是“换某物”,sth 是被换的东西,而 change sth for sth else 表示的才是“用某物换另一物”。比较:

That coat was too large and I had to change it. 那件外套太大了,我得去换一件。

You’d better change that shirt for a large one. 你最好把那件衬衣去换件大号的。

That coat was too large and I had to change it for a smaller one. 那件外套太大了,我得去换一件小一点的。

注意它与change sth into sth(把某物变成或换成某物)不同。如:

We can change ice into water by heating it. 通过加热我们可以把冰变成水。

Mr Smiths changed his dollars into francs. 史密斯先生把美元换成了法郎。

比较以下两句介用 for 和 into 所导致含义的差别(from www.nmet168.com):

The singer changed his piano for a computer. 这位歌唱家用他的钢琴换了台电脑。

The magician changed the piano into a computer. 这位魔术师把钢琴变成了电脑。
