该短语是系表结构(be + 形容词crowded + 介词with),核心逻辑是:“主语(空间/容器) + 被挤满 + (with引出的)人/物”。
通常是表示“空间/容器”的名词(包括具体空间和抽象“空间”),如:
具体空间:room(房间)、street(街道)、bus(公交车)、hall(大厅)、train(火车);
抽象“空间”:newspaper(报纸)、website(网站)、schedule(日程表)等(可理解为“内容的承载空间”)。
具体空间 + be crowded with + 人:
The subway is crowded with commuters during rush hour.(高峰时段地铁挤满了通勤者。)
The concert hall was crowded with fans last night.(昨晚音乐厅挤满了粉丝。)
具体空间 + be crowded with + 物:
The small kitchen is crowded with appliances.(小厨房里摆满了电器。)
The shelf was crowded with old books and photos.(书架上塞满了旧书和照片。)
抽象“空间” + be crowded with + 内容:
The front page of the newspaper is crowded with election news.(报纸头版满是选举新闻。)
Her schedule is always crowded with meetings and deadlines.(她的日程总是排满了会议和截止日期。)
与 be full of 的区别:
be crowded with 更强调“拥挤感”(空间有限,内容过多导致拥挤);
be full of 仅强调“满”(不一定拥挤,如“The bottle is full of water.” 瓶子装满水,但不拥挤)。
例:The elevator is crowded with people.(电梯挤满了人——拥挤);The elevator is full of people.(电梯里全是人——满,但不一定强调拥挤)。
简言之,be crowded with 是描述“空间被密集占据”的常用表达,重点在“拥挤/密集”的状态~
