    point at, point to
  • 这两个短语的意思有所区别：point to的意思是“指向”; 而point at的意思是“指着”,含有某种目的性。以事物作主语时,用point to更常见。例如:
  • The needle of a compass points to the north.罗盘指向北方。
  • We must teach our children that it is not polite and ill-bred to point at people.我们必须教育自己的孩子,用手指人是不礼貌的,没教养的。

  • Point the gun at the target.用枪对准靶子。
    • point, aim, level, train
  • 这组词的共同意思是“对准”“瞄准”,它们之间的区别是:
  • 1.瞄准方法不同:aim指端起枪瞄准; train指把枪放在对准其目标的位置上; level指把枪放在水平位置上瞄准; point则指以某物的一端或尖端对准某一点。例如:
  • The army trained its cannon on the fort.军队把大炮对准了要塞。
  • The second sentry leveled his halberd at the parson's breast.第二个警卫把他的戟对准了牧师的胸口。
  • He pointed his finger at me.他用手指着我。
  • 2.搭配范围不同:aim和train可以表示以镜头对准; 而level和point不能这样用。例如可以说He trained the camera upon the children.它把相机对准孩子们。
  • 3.连用的介词不同:aim与at, for连用; train与on〔upon〕连用; level与at, against 连用; 而point则与at, to连用。
  • 4.使用场合不同:aim for多见于较正式的文体中。
    • point out, indicate, show
  • 这组词(组)都有“表示”“表明”的意思。其区别在于：
  • 1.point out更强调“指出”。例如:
  • She pointed out that the closing date for making applications had passed.她指出申请的截止日期已经过了。
  • 2.show通常用于一眼就可以看清的东西,多用于有意识的行为。例如:
  • Does the mark of the wound still show?伤痕还看得出吗?
  • Tickets, please. Show your tickets.票,请把票拿出来。
  • 3.indicate常用于无意识的行为。例如:
  • A signpost indicated the right road for us to follow.一个路标给我们指示应走的路。
  • The state of his clothes indicates clearly that he has been playing football.他的衣服表明他一直在踢足球。

    n. (名词)

      误 There's no point to cry now.

      正 There's no point in crying now.

      正 There's no point crying now.

      如果情况属实,再跟他争辩就没有意义了。

      正 If it is the case, there is no point in arguing further with him.

      正 If it is the case, there is no point arguing further with him.

      析 there's no point后不能接动词不定式,只能接(in) v -ing结构。

      为了完成这件事,我们必须做到两点。

      误 In order to finish the work, we must do two points.

      误 The hands of the clock pointed at half past one.

      当时他正把枪对准我。

      误 He was pointing the gun to me.

      正 He was pointing the gun at me.

      他把枪放在洞里,枪口朝外。

      误 He placed his gun in the hole, pointed outward.

      正 He placed his gun in the hole, pointing outward.

      析 “枪口朝外”构成句子的伴随状语,需用现在分词。
