“玩手机”不是play the phone？一个介词搞定！
<p><span word="play">play</span>是一个“有毒”的英文单词。</p><p>很多时候，把中文语境中的“玩”直译成“<span word="play">play</span>”都是不对的。</p><p>比如“玩手机”，就不能说成<span word="play">play</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="phone">phone</span>，答案稍后公布，我们先看看<span word="play">play</span>这个词到底怎么用。</p><p> <span word="A">A</span> <span word="woman">woman</span> <span word="wearing">wearing</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="mask">mask</span> <span word="looks">looks</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="mobile">mobile</span> <span word="phone">phone</span> <span word="amid">amid</span> <span word="social">social</span> <span word="distancing">distancing</span> <span word="measures">measures</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="avoid">avoid</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="spread">spread</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="novel">novel</span> <span word="coronavirus">coronavirus</span>, <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Myeongdong">Myeongdong</span> <span word="shopping">shopping</span> <span word="district">district</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Seoul">Seoul</span>, <span word="South">South</span> <span word="Korea">Korea</span>, <span word="May">May</span> 28, 2020. [<span word="Photo">Photo</span>/<span word="Agencies">Agencies</span>]</p><p>我查了牛津词典，好家伙，一个简单的<span word="play">play</span>竟然有20多种含义。</p><p>可以表示“玩耍”、“扮演”、“作弄”、“演奏”、“参与”、“下棋”、“播放”、“起作用”...</p><p>不管怎样，<span word="play">play</span>最基本的含义还是“玩”。</p><p>但你要注意，当<span word="play">play</span>表示“玩”的时候，只表示“小孩子的玩耍”，词典中有明确的标注：</p><p>记得以前我的英文老师是这样来总结<span word="play">play</span>的用法：</p><p><span word="Children">Children</span> <span word="play">play</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="adults">adults</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="play">play</span>.</p><p>如今想想这句话还是很有洞察力的。</p><p>你可以说：<span word="Kids">Kids</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="playing">playing</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="each">each</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="happily">happily</span>.当主语是成年人的时候，<span word="play">play</span>就跟“愉快地玩耍”没啥关系了，而表示“带有某种目的去参与活动”。比如：</p><p><span word="play">play</span> <span word="cards">cards</span><span word="play">play</span> <span word="football">football</span><span word="play">play</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="piano">piano</span><span word="play">play</span> <span word="music">music</span><span word="play">play</span> <span word="games">games</span><span word="play">play</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="role">role</span>这些搭配都是很地道的。</p>
