“comment about”是一个常用的英语短语,核心含义围绕“对……发表评论/意见”或“关于……的评论”,具体用法需结合动词或名词属性区分:
无论是动词还是名词搭配,“comment about”都指向“针对某事物/某人表达看法、评价”,重点在“围绕具体内容展开评论”。
当“comment”作为动词时,“comment about”直接表示“对……发表评论/谈论”,后面接名词、代词或动名词(不能接从句)。
结构:主语 + comment about + 宾语(n./pron./doing)
示例:
The coach commented about the team’s poor performance in the game.(教练对球队在比赛中的糟糕表现发表了评论。)
Don’t comment about other people’s appearance—it’s rude.(不要对别人的外貌评头论足,那很无礼。)
She commented about being tired of the constant noise in the office.(她吐槽说厌倦了办公室里没完没了的噪音。)
当“comment”作为名词时,需搭配动词(如make/give/offer/refuse等),构成“关于……的评论”,核心是“针对某内容的评价”。
结构:动词 + (a) comment about + 宾语
示例:
He made a funny comment about my new shoes.(他对我的新鞋说了句搞笑的评论。)
I don’t want to hear any comments about my choice of major.(我不想听任何关于我专业选择的评论。)
The CEO refused to give a comment about the upcoming merger.(CEO拒绝就即将到来的合并发表评论。)
refuse to comment about:拒绝就……评论(常用在新闻语境)
e.g. The celebrity refused to comment about the divorce rumors.(这位名人拒绝就离婚传闻发表评论。)
no comment about:对……无可奉告
e.g. The company had no comment about the layoffs.(公司对裁员一事无可奉告。)
两者核心含义几乎一致(均表示“对……评论”),但:
comment on 更正式、常用(尤其在书面语或严肃语境);
comment about 更口语化,偶尔更强调“围绕某内容展开”(但多数情况可互换)。
示例:
The professor commented on the student’s essay.(教授对学生的论文进行了点评。)
The professor commented about the student’s essay.(意思相同,但更口语。)
“comment about”后不能直接接从句(需转化为名词性结构):
❌ He commented about that he was late.(错误)
✅ He commented about his being late.(正确,用动名词“his being late”)
✅ He commented that he was late.(正确,用“comment that + 从句”)
总结:“comment about”是表达“针对具体内容发表看法”的实用短语,既可以作动词(直接评论),也可以作名词(描述评论的内容),日常对话和书面语中都常见。
