"read through" 是一个常用的英语动词短语,核心含义是“通读;从头至尾完整地读一遍”,强调阅读的完整性(覆盖全部内容),而非片段式阅读。
指逐字逐句或系统地阅读某份文字材料(如文章、合同、说明书、小说等),确保没有遗漏内容,通常用于需要全面理解或检查的场景。
"read through" 是及物动词短语,后面直接接宾语(名词或代词),表示“通读某物”;也可与副词(如 carefully、quickly、thoroughly 等)搭配,强调阅读的方式。
以下是不同场景的实用例子,帮助理解用法:
学习/写作场景:
Please read through your essay one more time to fix grammar mistakes.(请再通读一遍你的文章,修正语法错误。)
The teacher asked us to read through the textbook chapter before tomorrow’s class.(老师让我们在明天上课前通读课本这一章。)
职场/正式场景:
I need to read through the contract carefully to check for hidden clauses.(我需要仔细通读合同,检查有没有隐藏条款。)
The manager read through the report and signed it.(经理通读了报告并签字。)
日常场景:
She read through the recipe twice to make sure she didn’t miss any steps.(她把食谱通读了两遍,确保没漏掉任何步骤。)
He read through the entire novel in two days—he couldn’t put it down!(他两天内通读了整本小说——根本停不下来!)
与 "read" 的区别:"read" 仅表示“阅读”,不强调完整性;"read through" 则明确是“从头读到尾”。
例:I read the first page of the book.(我读了书的第一页。)→ 片段阅读;
I read through the book.(我通读了这本书。)→ 完整阅读。
"read through" 是表达“完整阅读”的高频短语,适用于需要全面理解、检查或熟悉内容的场景,直接接宾语即可使用,搭配副词能更精准地描述阅读方式。
