height,length,width等名词的用法特点

老师答疑

米老师：

曾老师的例句很典型，下面另补充一些例句及用法，供网友参考：
1. 与介词 in 搭配，表示“在……方面”。如：
He is two meters in height. 他身高两米。
The wall is 2.5 metres in height. 墙高2.5 米。
The pipe was two metres in length. 渠道长两米。
The two books are more or less equal in length. 这两本书篇幅差不多。
The car is 1.775m in width. 这辆汽车车身宽1.775 米。
The ditch is about two meters in width. 此沟有两米多宽。
2. 与介词 of 搭配，表示类似形容词的意思。如：
He is of ordinary height. 他普通身材。
He and I are of the same height. 他和我一样高。
They were both of middle height. 他们两人都是中等身材。
3. 具体表示多高、多长、多宽等，可用 a height (length, width) of 这样的搭配。如：
The tree grew to a height of ten meters. 这树长有10米高。
The path will be built to a width of 2 metres. 这条路要修到2 米宽。
Such birds can fly at a height of 4,000 feet. 这种鸟能在4,000英尺的高空飞翔。
These fish can reach a length of over two metres. 这些鱼可长到两米多长。
4. 询问人或事物的高度、长度、宽度，一般用疑问词 what。如：
What’s your height? 你有多高?
What’s the height of Everest? 珠穆朗玛峰有多高?
What’s the width of the river? 这河有多宽?
What’s the length of a football field? 足球场有多长?
比较：
How wide is the river?=What’s the width of the river? 这河有多宽?

曾老师：

请看下列例句：

The hall is 15 metres in length and 8 (metres) in width. 这个大厅长15米，宽8米。

= This hall is 15 metres long and 8 wide.

The wall is 7 feet in height. 这堵墙高七英尺。

= The wall is 7 feet high.
