內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介
一位聽眾來(lái)信詢問(wèn)單詞 “cross、across、crosswise” 和 “intersect” 的共同點(diǎn)和區(qū)別。它們當(dāng)中有三個(gè)詞都包含詞根 “cross”，與 “交叉” 或 “穿過(guò)” 相關(guān)?！癆cross” 的副詞含義是 “從一邊到另一邊地”；介詞含義為 “在…另一邊，在…各處”?！癈rosswise” 同樣可以作副詞使用，表示 “交叉地，垂直穿過(guò)地”，但它是否常用？動(dòng)詞 “intersect” 指 “（道路或線條）交叉”。本期節(jié)目詳細(xì)講解這四個(gè)詞的用法。

大家好，歡迎收聽 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “你問(wèn)我答” 節(jié)目，我是佳瑩。Joining me is Roy. Hello, Roy.
Roy
Hi, everyone.
Jiaying
本期節(jié)目中要回答的問(wèn)題來(lái)自一位姓舒的聽眾，問(wèn)題由我來(lái)代讀。
Question
你好，我想知道下面兩組單詞有什么相同點(diǎn)和不同點(diǎn)，特別是當(dāng)它們表達(dá)的意思相近的時(shí)候：
cross and intersect
across and crosswise
Roy
Let's look at 'cross' and 'across'. 'Cross' is a verb meaning 'go from one side of something to another'. It is often used to talk about places with clear sides, such as a road, or a start and end point, such as a bridge. 'Across' is an adverb with a similar meaning to 'cross', 'from one side to another'. But because it's an adverb, it needs to be used with a verb, normally a verb of movement.
Jiaying
沒錯(cuò)，“cross” 是動(dòng)詞，意思是 “橫穿，越過(guò)”，通常用來(lái)表示 “穿過(guò)有明確邊界的場(chǎng)所或事物”，如道路；或 “從起點(diǎn)到終點(diǎn)”，如橋梁。
“Across” 是副詞，表示 “從一邊到另一邊地”，需要與動(dòng)詞，特別是描述運(yùn)動(dòng)的動(dòng)詞搭配使用。比如：“walk across（走過(guò)）”。聽兩個(gè)分別使用了動(dòng)詞 “cross” 和副詞 “across” 的例句。
Examples
She crossed the room to speak with him the moment he arrived.
（他一到，她就穿過(guò)房間走到另一頭和他說(shuō)話。）
I walked across the bridge to get to the museum. It was quicker than waiting for a bus.
（我步行過(guò)橋去博物館。這比等著坐公共汽車要快。）
Jiaying
在第一個(gè)例句中，動(dòng)詞 “crossed” 表示 “穿過(guò)房間”。在第二個(gè)例句中，副詞 “across” 與動(dòng)詞 “walked” 搭配使用：walked across（步行過(guò)橋）。
Roy，“cross” 和 “across” 還有其它的用法嗎？
Roy
Yes. 'Across' can also be used as a preposition meaning 'on the opposite side' or 'in every part of a space or place', such as a country. None of the other words are used in this way.
Jiaying
原來(lái)，“across” 還可以作介詞使用，意思是 “在…的另一邊、對(duì)面” 或 “在…各處”。聽兩個(gè)包含介詞 “across” 的例句。
Examples
My uncle lives just across the road.
（我叔叔就住在馬路對(duì)面。）
People across the country listened to BBC Learning English programmes.
（全國(guó)各地的人們都收聽了 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的節(jié)目。）
Roy
'Cross' can also be used as a noun and describes a shape of two overlapping lines that look like the letter 'x' in English.
Jiaying
“Cross” 作名詞使用時(shí)可以表示 “叉號(hào)”。Roy，“cross” 和單詞 “crosswise” 的含義有關(guān)嗎？
Roy
Yes. 'Crosswise' can be an adverb that means 'in the shape of a cross'. It is used to talk about 'crossing something diagonally or at a 90-degree angle' and is normally used when talking about making a cut. However, 'crosswise' is not very common, and it would be more natural to say 'in the shape of a cross' or 'cut across'.
Jiaying
“Crosswise” 可以作副詞，含義和名詞 “cross” 有關(guān)，表示 “交叉地” 或 “垂直穿過(guò)地，斜穿地”。我們更常用 “in the shape of a cross” 這樣的搭配來(lái)表達(dá) “crosswise” 的意思。請(qǐng)大家聽兩個(gè)例句。
Examples
I've marked where I live with a cross on the map.
（我在地圖上用叉號(hào)標(biāo)出了我住的地方。）
Cut the vegetables crosswise, and then place them on the plate.
（把蔬菜橫著切開，然后放在盤子里。）
Roy
Finally, let's look at 'intersect'. 'Intersect' is a verb used to talk about things like lines, roads and paths which overlap each other. As an alternative to 'intersect', you could say the two lines 'cross each other'. 'Intersect' can also mean divide a space into smaller areas by crossing it with lines.
Jiaying
“Intersect” 是動(dòng)詞，表示 “（線條、道路、路徑等相互）交叉”?！癐ntersect” 還可以表示 “橫穿、貫穿”。聽兩個(gè)例句。
Examples
The two roads intersect in front of the post office.
（這兩條路在郵局前交叉。）
The park is intersected by paths.
（多條小路貫穿這個(gè)公園。）
Jiaying
來(lái)歸納一下以上講過(guò)的內(nèi)容：“cross” 作動(dòng)詞時(shí)表示 “穿過(guò)”，作名詞指 “叉號(hào)”?！癆cross” 作副詞表示 “從一邊到另一邊”，作介詞表示 “在…的另一邊” 或 “在…各處”?！癈rosswise” 可作副詞，意思是 “交叉地” 或 “垂直穿過(guò)地，斜穿地”。動(dòng)詞 “intersect” 表示 “（線條、道路、路徑等）交叉”。
Roy
