该短语通常需要带 双宾语(“某人”+“某地”),结构为:
注意:如果“某人”是代词(如me, us, him等),必须放在“show”和“around”中间;如果是名词(如the guests, my friend等),可放在中间或后面,但更常见的是放中间。
1、 主动形式(带某人参观某地)
Can you show me around your new house?(你能带我参观一下你的新房子吗?)
The manager showed the clients around the factory.(经理带客户参观了工厂。)
Let me show you around the campus—this is the library, and that’s the gym.(我带你逛逛校园吧——这是图书馆,那是体育馆。)
2、 被动形式(被带领参观)
We were shown around the museum by a knowledgeable guide.(我们由一位知识渊博的导游带领参观了博物馆。)
The new employees will be shown around the office tomorrow.(新员工明天会被带领参观办公室。)
give sb. a tour of + 地点(更正式,强调“ tour ( tour 指有组织的参观)”):
The docent gave us a tour of the art gallery.(讲解员带我们参观了艺术画廊。)
take sb. around + 地点(更口语化):
My cousin took me around his university last weekend.(我表弟上周末带我逛了他的大学。)
“show around” 后面的 地点 可以是具体场所(如apartment, school, factory),也可以是模糊区域(如the city, the neighborhood)。
不能省略“around”——如果直接说“show sb. the place”,虽然也有“带某人看某地”的意思,但“show around”更强调“四处参观”(覆盖多个区域),而“show sb. the place”更侧重“展示某个具体地点”。
总之,show around 是表达“带领参观”的高频短语,日常交流中非常实用,记住“代词放中间、名词可灵活”的结构即可轻松掌握~
