中学生在使用welcome一词时常常出错。本文拟从词性、意义和搭配等几方面对其加以分析。

一、welcome用来向刚到达或返回的人问候时,意为“欢迎”。这时常见的错句有:

① Welcome you!

② Warmly welcome (you)!

welcome用在这种寒暄用语中,后面不能跟宾语,也不能用副词修饰,所以上面两句全是错句。正确说法应为:

Welcome!

Welcome back!

Welcome home!

表达“欢迎某人”时可用:John,Welcome! /Welcome,John!

二、welcome作动词用时,意为“欢迎或迎接(某人)”。

这时常见的错句有:Beijing welcomes you to come to Beijing.

welcome sb的意思相当于say hello to或greet sb,其后跟一个人作为被欢迎的对象即可。例如:

① They welcomed me warmly.

② The mayor welcomed his Highness in well-founded phrases.

但不能说say helloto do sth,也不能说welcometo do sth。

如果要表达“欢迎某人做事”,可用sb is welcome to do sth。 其中的welcome是形容词。

三、常见的含welcome的词语

1. welcome (v) back意为“欢迎归来”。例如:

A large crowd gathered at the airport to welcome back the national football team.

2. welcome (v) in (into)意为“迎接进来,欢迎加入”。例如:

The bride and groom stood by the door to welcome in their guests.

3. welcome (sb) to意为“欢迎(某人)到(到某处)”。例如:

They welcomed me to their home.

4. welcome with open arms意为“热烈欢迎”。例如:

I expect he will welcome me with open arms.

5. be welcome to意为“欢迎……使用”。例如:

You are welcome to the books on the shelf.

6. receive/win a warm welcome from意为“受到热烈的欢迎”。例如:

At the gate he received a warm welcome from the students.

7. givea warm welcome意为“热烈地欢迎某人”。例如:

At the airport people,young and old,gave a warm welcome to the Olympic flames.

8. express one’s warm welcome to sb意为“向某人表示热烈欢迎”。例如:

I would like to express my warm welcome to your party.

要正确使用welcome一词,就得准确掌握其词性,并正确理解意思,再选择合适的搭配来表达你的意思。
