什么是 “Pay Attention That” 从句?
在英语中,“pay attention that...” 并不是一个标准或常见的表达方式。 正确的搭配通常是 “pay attention to + 名词/动名词”,而如果要接一个完整句子(即 that 从句), 更地道的说法是使用 “please note that...” 或 “be aware that...”。
注意:“Pay attention that...” 在正式英语中通常被视为不规范用法。

常见替代表达
当你想提醒他人注意某事(后接完整句子)时,可使用以下结构:
- Please note that... —— 请留意……
- Be aware that... —— 请注意……
- Take note that... —— 记住……
- Keep in mind that... —— 牢记……

Be aware that traffic will be heavy during the holiday.

为什么不能说 “Pay attention that...”?
动词短语 “pay attention” 是一个不及物动词短语,后面必须接介词 to 才能引出宾语。 而 “that” 引导的是名词性从句,不能直接跟在 “pay attention” 后面。 因此,语法上不成立。
✅ Pay attention to what he says.
❌ Pay attention that he is lying.
❌ Pay attention that he is lying.
