in control of 与 in the control of 有无区别?
词典解答
in control of 是指“控制”“管理”,of 短语是宾语性的,换言之,主语是“控制”的施动者,而 in the control of 则是指“受……控制”,of 短语是主语性的(of 短语引出施动者),换言之,句子主语所表示的人或事物是被控制的。请对比下列例句:
-
They were in control of the southern side of the mountain. (Hazen) 他们控制着山的南侧。
-
He is in control of the store. 他管理着这家商店。
-
I was in the control of evil men who forced me to do wicked things. (LDCE) 我受了坏人控制,他们强迫我干坏事。
请对比 in charge/in the charge, in possession of/in the possession of。
