动词用法与辨析 ◆典型陷阱题分析◆ 1
If you want to sell your product you must _____ it
advertise B
advertise for C
advertise on D
advertise to 【陷阱】容易误选 B,认为 advertise 的意思是“做广告”,advertise for 的意思“为……做广告”
【分析】事实上,正确答案为 A
advertise 可用作及物和不及物动词:用作及物动词时,其意为“为……做广告”、“登广告宣传”;用作不及物动词时,其意为“做广告”、“登广告”,此时通常后接介词 for,表示“做广告征求”
比较: advertise for sth (sb) 登广告征求或寻找某物或某人 (此时 advertise 不及物) advertise sth 为……登广告,登广告宣传……(此时 advertise 是及物动词,其后要直接跟被宣传的东西作宾语) People advertise things that they wish to sell
人们为要卖的东西登广告
The manager wants to advertise for a new secretary
经理想登广告招聘一位新秘书
再比较以下用例: advertise jobs 登广告招人 advertise for jobs 登广告求职 2
