at the beginning (of)与in the beginning (of)的对错剖析

来源:www.jiemenga.com 2023-08-24

英语中存在下面四个表达吗?

at the beginning

at the beginning of

in the beginning

at the beginning of

谢谢老师指点!

1. at the beginning(后面不接 of)的意思是“起初”,可以与in the beginning替换,两者没什么不同,但在现代英语中多用前者。比如:I thought he loved me; perhaps he did in the beginning. 我以为他爱我,或许开始时他确实是爱我的。(《朗文高级英语应试词典》p.180)

2. 依据葛传槼教授编著的《英语惯使用方法词典》,“begin at the beginning”不可以改为“begin in the beginning”;说世界的开端需要用in the beginning,不需要at the beginning, 如 In the beginning there were no men nor animals nor plants.

3.《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第8版指出:at the beginning(of)指开始的时间和起点。in the beginning等于at first, 与后来相比。

4. 可以说 at the beginning of,不可以说in the beginningof ,比如:Theres a short poem at the beginning of every chapter. 每一章的开始都有一首短诗。/ The town was founded at the beginning of the 12th century. 该镇打造于12世纪之初。(《朗文高级英语应试词典》p.180)

【参考】虽然2008年7月第1版《外研社英汉多功能词典》有in the beginningof的使用方法实例 (in the beginning of this century 本世纪初),但最好不要模仿。不然,在考试中容易被判为错误。
