注:这里的 movies 是复数形式,但短语本身是固定搭配,不表示“看多部电影”,而是泛指“看电影”这一活动。
该短语是动词短语,通常作句子的谓语,可根据时态、主语和语境灵活变化,常见搭配和场景如下:
一般现在时(描述习惯/常态):
I go to the movies every Friday night.(我每周五晚上都去看电影。)
一般过去时(描述过去的动作):
We went to the movies yesterday evening.(我们昨晚去看电影了。)
一般将来时(描述未来的计划):
She will go to the movies with her friends tomorrow.(她明天要和朋友去看电影。)
表“想要/愿意”:want to / would like to + go to the movies
Do you want to go to the movies with me?(你想和我一起去看电影吗?)
I would like to go to the movies this weekend.(我这周末想去看电影。)
表“建议/邀请”:let's / shall we + go to the movies
Let's go to the movies tonight!(今晚我们去看电影吧!) Shall we go to the movies after dinner?(晚饭后我们去看电影好吗?)表“不能/没时间”:can't / don't have time to + go to the movies
I can't go to the movies tonight—I have to study.(我今晚不能去看电影,我得学习。)
go to the movies:强调“去电影院”的动作(最口语化,常用);
go to see a movie:更强调“看某一部电影”(较正式);
watch a movie:可指“在家看电影”(如用电视/电脑),也可指“在电影院看”(但不如前者强调“出门”的动作)。
常态:My parents go to the movies once a month.(我父母每月看一次电影。)
过去:They went to the movies to celebrate his birthday.(他们去看电影庆祝他的生日。)
将来:We are going to go to the movies next Saturday.(我们下周六要去看电影。)
邀请:Would you like to go to the movies with us?(你愿意和我们一起去看电影吗?)
简言之,"go to the movies" 是日常交流中最常用的“去电影院看电影”的表达,直接、口语化,适用于大多数场景~
