In the home, washing machines promised to free women from having to toil over the laundry.
请问老师,in the home 和at home有什么区别?
我认为:at home 用途更广泛,可用来指“在家”和“国内”且带有感情色彩。而 in the home 只能特指“在家”居住的这个固定的地方。老师您认为呢?
曹老师:
仅就at home表示“在家”这个意义而言,主语只能是某人。因为此时at表示的是某人做某事的地方,如工作、学习、休息、开会、看电影、乘坐飞机等等,暗示某人做某事。如at bank, at school, at home, at a meeting, at lunch, at airport, at the theatre, at war等等。不能说The washing machine is at home. 你提问的句子主语是洗衣机,当然不能用at home了。
陈老师:
区别如下
(1)at home带有一种感情色彩,使用比较广泛,是泛指,可以独立成文,介词后面不能再加其它限定词。
