英语短语 "be tied with" 主要有两种核心含义,结合语境可表示“与……并列/打成平手”(侧重竞争或排名)或“与……紧密关联/绑定”(侧重抽象联系)。以下是具体解析:
指在得分、排名或竞赛中与对方分数相同、位置并列,强调“不分胜负”的状态。
结构:主语(通常是竞争者/团队) + be动词 + tied with + 并列对象 + (补充说明:如“for + 名次/分数”)
例子:
Our team is tied with theirs for first place in the league.(我们队和他们队在联赛中并列第一。)
The two runners were tied with 10 seconds each in the 100-meter race.(两位选手在100米赛跑中都跑出了10秒,打成平手。)
The election results show she is tied with her opponent for the lead.(选举结果显示她和对手并列领先。)
表示两者之间有不可分割的联系,侧重“相互依存”或“因果关联”(类似“be linked with”,但更强调“绑定”的紧密性)。
结构:主语(通常是事物) + be动词 + tied with + 关联对象
例子:
A company’s reputation is tied with the quality of its products.(公司的声誉与产品质量紧密相关。)
Her happiness was tied with the well-being of her family.(她的幸福与家人的安康息息相关。)
The success of this project is tied with everyone’s effort.(这个项目的成功离不开所有人的努力。)
两者都有“关联”的意思,但侧重点不同:
be tied with:强调“并列/共同”(如比赛并列、两者平等关联);
be tied to:强调“依赖/束缚”(如被某事限制、依附于某物)。
例:
He is tied to his job(他被工作束缚)≠ He is tied with his job(逻辑不通,除非指“他和工作绑定”,但更常用"tied to")。
The score is tied with 2-2(比分2-2平)≠ The score is tied to 2-2(错误,“tie to”不用于比分)。
be tied with sb. for sth.:与某人并列某名次/分数(最常用)
例:She is tied with Tom for the highest grade in math.(她和汤姆数学并列最高分。)
be tied with sth.:与某物关联
例:The policy’s effectiveness is tied with public support.(政策的成效与公众支持相关。)
"be tied with"的核心是“并列”或“紧密关联”,关键看语境:
涉及比赛、排名、分数时,表“并列/平手”;
涉及抽象关系(如声誉、成功、幸福)时,表“紧密关联”。
