用法辨析
- attention表示“注意”时,是不可数名词; 用作可数名词时,指具体活动,表示“殷勤”“款待”,常用复数形式。
- call sb's attention to sth 或call sth to sb's attention都表示要某人注意某事。bring sb to the attention of sb else表示“某事使某人得到他人的注意”。
- 一般来说,要表达引起某人对某事的注意时,用call/draw one's attention to。表示用某事引起某人注意时,用bring the matter to one's attention,注意两者不可倒过来使用。He wants to call her attention to the matter. 不可以说I want to bring his attention to the matter.
- pay attention to是固定的搭配词组,不可以用其他介词替换,如pay attention on。除了指“注意”,pay attention to还指“向女子献殷勤”,如pay his attentions to the girl.要注意his后的attentions用的是复数形式;
- 有时候pay attention to后不直接加宾语,而是加动名词,to作为介词。I advise you to pay more attention to recording new uses of old words. 我建议你要更注意记录旧词的新用法。
