“sneak in”是一个常用的英语短语,核心含义是“偷偷/悄悄做某事”,具体用法可根据语境分为三类,以下是详细解释和例句:
“sneak”本身表示“偷偷摸摸地移动;潜行”,“sneak in”则延伸为“悄悄进入、插入或利用空隙做某事”,强调“不被察觉”或“趁人不备”。
根据搭配的宾语不同,“sneak in”可分为三种常见场景:
指悄悄进入某个空间(如房间、影院、会场等),避免被他人发现。
结构:`sneak in + 地点` / `sneak in through + 路径`
例句:
The cat sneaked in the house when I opened the door.(我开门时,猫偷偷溜进了屋子。)
We snuck in the concert through the side gate to avoid the line.(我们从侧门偷偷溜进演唱会,避开了排队。)
He sneaked in late last night so his parents wouldn’t notice.(他昨晚很晚才偷偷回来,以免父母发现。)
指在某件事(如讲话、文章、计划)中偷偷加入或插入不显眼的内容,通常是为了不引起过多注意。
结构:`sneak in + 事物(想法、条款、细节等)`
例句:
The teacher sneaked in a few extra vocabulary questions on the test.(老师在试卷里悄悄加了几道额外的词汇题。)

时态:口语中常用`snuck in`(过去式/过去分词)代替`stuck in`?不,纠正:口语中`snuck`是`sneak`的过去式/过去分词(更非正式),而`sneaked`是标准形式。例如:
正确:He snuck in late.(口语)/ He sneaked in late.(书面)
介词搭配:常与`through`(通过某路径)、`into`(进入某地)连用,如`sneak in through the window`(从窗户溜进)、`sneak into the party`(溜进派对)。
主语:通常是人,但也可用于拟人化,如:“A smile sneaked in on her face when she thought of him.”(她想起他时,脸上悄悄露出了微笑。)
“sneak in”的核心是“悄悄、不被察觉地做某事”,无论是物理进入、插入内容,还是利用空隙做事,都强调“低调”或“趁人不备”。通过具体例句可以更直观地掌握其用法~
