英语短语"attitude to"(也常写作"attitude towards")的核心含义是"对……的态度/看法",用于表达某人对某个人、事物或行为的立场、观点或感受。
"attitude to" 是介词短语,连接名词/代词/动名词,说明"态度的对象"——即"对谁/对什么的态度"。
"attitude to" 后通常接名词、代词或动名词(doing sth),构成"attitude to sb/sth/doing sth"的结构,在句中可作主语、宾语、表语等成分。
后接具体的人或事物(如"work" "friends" "problem"等),说明态度的对象。
例1:His attitude to work is very responsible.(他对工作的态度很负责。)
例2:What's your attitude to this new policy?(你对这项新政策的态度是什么?)
例3:She has a friendly attitude to everyone.(她对所有人都持友好态度。)
后接"doing sth"(动名词),表示对"做某事"的态度。
例1:Many young people have a negative attitude to saving money.(很多年轻人对存钱持消极态度。)
例2:Her attitude to learning Chinese surprised me.(她对学中文的态度让我惊讶。)
"attitude"是可数名词,复数"attitudes"可表示"不同人的态度",后接"to"依然适用。
People have different attitudes to marriage in different cultures.(不同文化中人们对婚姻的态度不同。)
1、 与"attitude towards"的区别:
两者几乎完全互换,"towards"更常见于英国英语,"to"更通用(尤其美国英语)。
His attitude towards/to failure is optimistic.(他对失败的态度很乐观。)
2、 常见错误:
不要误用"attitude for"(无此搭配),必须用"to"或"towards"。
错误:He has a good attitude for study.
正确:He has a good attitude to study.(study作名词)/ He has a good attitude to studying.(study作动词,用动名词)
"attitude to" 是表达"对……的态度"的核心短语,关键是明确"态度的对象"(人/物/行为),后接名词、代词或动名词。通过具体例子可以更直观掌握其用法~
