Mention sth to somebody

英语中如何正确使用 “mention something to somebody”?

基本结构

“Mention sth to somebody” 是一个常见的英语动词短语,意思是“向某人提及某事”。其基本结构为:

mention + [something] + to + [somebody]

注意:不能说 “mention somebody something”,这是不符合英语习惯的。

正确例句

I mentioned the meeting to Sarah yesterday.
He didn’t mention your idea to the team.
Could you mention this issue to the manager?

常见错误

❌ 错误用法:She mentioned me the news.

✅ 正确用法:She mentioned the news to me.

“Mention” 是一个及物动词,后面直接跟被提及的内容(sth),再通过 “to” 引出对象(somebody)。

小贴士

如果你不确定是否该用 “to”,可以尝试把句子简化成:“Did you say anything about X?” 如果答案是肯定的,并且你知道是对谁说的,那就用 “mention X to Y”。
