5. it’s rude to point at anyone with your chopsticks. 用筷子指著別人是不禮貌的。(section b, 2b)
本句是主系表結構,不定式短語是真正的主語,it是形式主語。句中的point意為“指”,“指向”,常構成短語point at, point to和point out。
◎point to和point at都含有“指著”的意思,兩者一般可以互換。
the teacher is pointing at/to the map on the wall.老師指著墻上的地圖。
◎但主語是事物時,一般用point to作謂語。point at可以分開使用,即point后直接跟名詞或代詞作賓語,再跟介詞at表示方向,意為“把……指向”,而point to卻不能分開使用。
the soldier pointed his gun at the doctor.士兵用槍指著醫生。
◎point out意為“指出”,其中out是副詞。如果它后面的賓語是代詞,則必須把該賓語放在out之前。
please point out the mistakes in my composition.請指出我作文中的錯誤。
luckily,the man knew mr green and pointed him out to us.
幸好這個人認識格林先生,于是便把他指給我們看。

【友情鏈接】這四個詞都有“滿意”,“高興”的意思,但詞性和用法不相同。
◎ please是動詞,可用作及物動詞或不及物動詞,表示“(使)高興,滿意,愉快”。
◎ pleased是過去分詞,意為“感到高興(滿意)”,其作用相當于形容詞,常與be連用,后接介詞at, with, by等引起的短語,還可接動詞不定式或that從句。
