“乘电梯”可用by lift,by elevator吗？

问题描述

英语中表示乘坐通常都用介词by，如 by bike, by car, by bus, by ship, by train, by plane, by tube 等等。但是，“乘电梯”可用 by lift, by elevator 吗？

老师答疑

罗老师：

可以用 by elevator / lift，你的理解很正确。

张老师：

没有见过by elevator; 但偶尔可见by the elevator. 可以说 by lift：
We go up and come down by lift / in a lift / in an elevator / by the elevator. 我们乘电梯上下。
