有一读者问:《学英语》报说:
误:People fed the cows with grass.
正:People fed the cows on grass.
可是另一期中却出现了这样的句子:
(1)Being fed with cow milk, the baby lion suddenly roared to give the tamer a start.
请解释。
“feed + 名(代)词”之后一般皆应用介词 on ,但在特定场合中亦可用介词 with ,上述句(1)即是一例,再如:
(2)The child was feeding the monkey with a banana.
(3)She was feeding the baby with porridge.
又,feed 作“提供,供给”解时,亦可与 with 连用,如:
(4)Education does not mean merely feeding the students with facts.
