核心是“陪伴并引导他人浏览某个空间的各个部分,使其了解或熟悉该地点”。
短语为“动词+双宾语+状语”结构,具体拆解:
主语:通常是实施“带领”动作的人(如导游、主人、朋友、同事等);
直接宾语:sb.(被带领的人,需用宾格代词,如me/him/her/us/them,或名词短语如“the guests”);
状语:around + 地点(被参观的地方,可接名词如“the museum”“our school”,或上下文暗示地点时省略)。
用于引导他人熟悉某个空间的场景,比如:
带游客逛景点(show tourists around the ancient town);
带新朋友参观新家(show a friend around your new apartment);
带新员工熟悉公司(show new employees around the office);
带同学逛校园(show classmates around the campus)。
基本结构(带地点):
The tour guide showed us around the Louvre Museum.(导游带我们参观了卢浮宫。)
Can you show me around your studio?(你能带我参观你的工作室吗?)
省略地点(上下文明确):
I just moved here—my neighbor showed me around yesterday.(我刚搬来,邻居昨天带我逛了逛(这附近)。)
Come in! Let me show you around!(进来!我带你参观(我家)!)
被动语态:
We were shown around the factory by the manager.(经理带我们参观了工厂。)
时态变化:
She is showing her guests around the garden now.(她现在正带客人参观花园。)
I didn’t show him around the city because I was busy.(我没带他逛城市,因为我很忙。)
give sb. a tour of...:与"show sb. around"含义几乎一致,但更正式(常用于导游、官方讲解场景)。
例:The curator gave us a tour of the art gallery.(馆长带我们参观了美术馆。)= The curator showed us around the art gallery.
1、 代词宾格:"sb."需用宾格,不能用主格(如show he around是错误的,应为show him around);
2、 地点省略:若上下文已明确地点,"around"后可省略地点名词(如前文提到“new house”,则“show you around”自然指“参观新房子”);
3、 口语化:"show sb. around"是日常口语高频短语,比"give a tour"更自然。
综上,"show sb. around"是表达“带领参观”的核心短语,适用于几乎所有“引导他人熟悉空间”的场景,记住结构和常见搭配就能轻松使用~
