在英语学习中,动词短语(phrasal verbs)的语序常常让人困惑。特别是当宾语是代词时,位置的变化会影响句子的自然度甚至正确性。本文将详细解释 “put on them” 和 “put them on” 的区别。
“Put on” 是一个由动词 “put” 和副词 “on” 构成的动词短语,意思是“穿上(衣物)”。这类结构属于“可分动词短语”(separable phrasal verb),宾语可以插入动词和副词之间。
✅ 正确:She put on her shoes.(她穿上了她的鞋。)
✅ 正确:She put her shoes on.
如果宾语是代词(如 them, it, him 等),则必须放在动词和副词之间。这是英语语法的重要规则。
✅ 正确:She put them on.(她把它们穿上了。)
❌ 错误:She put on them.
因此,“put on them” 在标准英语中通常是不自然或错误的,除非 “them” 不是直接宾语(例如在某些特殊语境下指代抽象事物,但极为罕见)。
英语中,副词性小品词(如 on, off, up)与动词构成短语动词时,若宾语为代词,代词必须紧接动词,不能置于副词之后。这是为了保持句子的节奏和清晰度。
✔️ He took off his coat. / He took his coat off.
✔️ He took it off.(正确)
✘ He took off it.(错误)
✔️ Please turn on the light. / Please turn the light on.
✔️ Please turn it on.
✘ Please turn on it.
