英语短语"supply to"的核心含义是"向...提供;供应给...",强调供应的对象(人、机构或地点)。它通常作为动词短语(搭配"supply"的动词用法)或名词短语(搭配"supply"的名词用法)出现,需结合具体结构理解。
"supply to" 表示将某事物(物资、服务等)输送/提供给特定的接收方,突出"供应的方向"。
最常见的主动结构,意为"把某物提供给某人/某物"。
主语(供应方)+ supply + 物品(宾语)+ to + 接收方(对象)。
示例:The factory supplies electricity to the entire city.(这家工厂向整个城市供电。)
We supply fresh produce to local restaurants every morning.(我们每天早上向当地餐馆供应新鲜农产品。)
The company will supply new software to all its employees next month.(公司下个月将向所有员工提供新软件。)
当强调"被供应的物品"或"接收方"时,常用被动语态。
示例:Fresh water is supplied to the remote village every week.(每周都有淡水供应到那个偏远村庄。)
Medical equipment was supplied to the disaster area by the Red Cross.(红十字会向灾区提供了医疗设备。)
Enough textbooks will be supplied to each student before the term starts.(学期开始前,每个学生都会拿到足够的课本。)
当"supply"作为名词(意为"供应;补给")时,可搭配"of sth. to sb./sth."表示"给...的...供应"。
示例:The supply of food to the refugees is still insufficient.(给难民的食物供应仍然不足。)
A steady supply of clean energy to rural areas has improved their quality of life.(向农村地区稳定供应清洁能源改善了他们的生活质量。)
The中断(interruption)of supplies to the hospital caused a crisis.(向医院的物资供应中断引发了危机。)
两者均表示"提供",但结构相反:
"supply sb. with sth." = "supply sth. to sb."(给某人提供某物)
示例:I supply him with books. = I supply books to him.(我给他提供书。)
The government supplies the poor with food. = The government supplies food to the poor.(政府向穷人提供食物。)
supply goods to a market(向市场供应商品)
supply materials to a construction site(向建筑工地供应材料)
supply energy to a region(向某地区供应能源)
supply services to customers(向客户提供服务)
"supply to" 的核心是"指向供应对象",需结合"supply"的动词或名词用法,记住关键结构:
主动:供应方 + supply + 物品 + to + 接收方
被动:物品 + be supplied + to + 接收方
名词:(a) supply of 物品 + to + 接收方
通过具体例句练习(如替换物品/接收方),能更快掌握其用法~
