At five o'clock we started walking back to the entrance to the forest.
我们的英语老师说,the entrance to the forest 中的介词 to 是绝对不可以改为 of 的,因为 to 总是与表示“入口”“通道”“道路”等名词搭配:the entrance to the theatre(剧院入口),the entrance to the cave(山洞入口),the gate to the university(大学的大门),the door to the waiting room(候车室的门)。
请问 the entrance 真的不能与 of 搭配吗?
当表示“……的入口”时,最常见的用法是 the entrance to:
-
The entrance to the hall is on your right. 大厅的入口在你的右方。
-
The entrance to the cave had been blocked up. 山洞的入口已堵塞。
-
She was sitting at the entrance to the museum. 她坐在博物馆的入口处。
但是,当说话者把 the entrance 看作是某个事物的一部分时,也可以使用 the entrance of。例如:
-
In the end we got back to the entrance of the forest, but we did not see SunYao. 最后，我们回到了森林的入口处，但是我们没看到孙尧。
-
The explosion did a good deal of damage to the entrance of the building. 爆炸对建筑物的入口造成了很大破坏。
