President Barack Obama addresses the 2015 Sustainable Development Summit, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2015, at United Nations headquarters.
在本句中address sth表示向XX讲话。但是貌似也可以理解成在可持续发展大会上讲话。这时,the 2015 Sustainable Development Summit 前面应该有个介词吧?
附朗文字典信息:
to make a formal speech to a large group of people 对…发表演说:
address a meeting/conference etc
He addressed an audience of 10,000 supporters. 他对一万名支持者发表了演说。
刘老师:
关于address的这个用法,你提供的词典上已经讲得很清楚了。它是及物动词,接的宾语可以是人群,如:a group of people, the crowd, the audience,也可以是各种各样的会议,如:meeting, conference, congress, session, summit 等。不要受汉语思维习惯的影响,不需要加任何介词。
