看世界杯学单词: 谁和谁对阵?

分类: 英语词汇 
1. Who is the Brazilian team playing?

巴西队的对手是谁?

问对手是谁就是用这句话啦!回答就可以说:It is playing Croatia. 巴西队在世界杯赛场上的八连胜啊!虽然这一场不怎么出彩,我们还是有理由期待它有更好的表现。

这句话正确的文法应该是Whom is Brazilian team playing?,但是口语里常常是用who来代替whom的。

2. Brazil will be taking on Australia next Monday.

巴西下周一将会对阵澳大利亚。

美语提到"比赛的对手是谁",除了 play someone这个讲法之外还有许多种,例如 take on someone 就是一个不错的用法。比如"巴西下周一要和澳大利亚比赛",就可以说Brazil will be taking on Australia next Monday. Take on 一般来讲是比较正式一点的讲法。

3. Germany played against Poland last night.

德国昨晚对阵波兰。

类似的讲法还有 against 这个词。比如"德国昨晚对阵波兰"就可以说:Germany played against Poland last night. 因为 against 是一个介系词,所以使用上会比较灵活一点,比如要说"下一场巴西对澳大利亚的比赛将会非常精彩",如果用 play 或是 take on 就会有点小小的困难,因为这样句子就会有两个动词,这时如果说The next game Brazil against Australia will be a very good one. 就可以省去不少麻烦。

归纳起来,A 跟 B 有比赛, 可以说 "A is playing B", "A is taking on B" 或是 "A is playing against B"。如果要说跟某队的比赛如何如何,则可以说 The game against ?is ...
