Drop by 是什么意思?顺道短暂拜访,地点直接接后面

Drop by 表示顺道来坐坐、短暂拜访。邀请朋友来家里可以说 drop by my place,不需要 to me;drop off 则是在送人或送东西。

Drop by 表示短暂、随意地拜访,通常没有事先正式约定。它可以指去看朋友、邻居,或途中去一下办公室、商店:drop by for a coffee。

想在对话中用 drop by 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

drop by (+ place); drop by + someone's place/the office; drop by for + a coffee/a chat; drop by to + verb

  • If you're near the library later, drop by and I'll give you my notes.
  • My sister dropped by for a coffee on her way home from work.
  • Could you drop by the office tomorrow to sign the contract?

修改原因

修改前If you're free after work, drop by to me for a cup of tea.

修改后If you're free after work, drop by my place for a cup of tea.

用 to me 指明来找谁,看起来似乎合理。但这个拜访表达后面直接接地点:my place、the office、the shop。因此把 to me 改成 my place。

Cambridge Dictionary

Drop in 意思很接近,但结构不同。拜访某人用 drop in on:I dropped in on my aunt。去某个地方用 drop in at:drop in at the bakery。Drop by 后面则直接接地点,不加介词:drop by the bakery。

动手练习

I'll ___ your flat on my way home and return the umbrella I borrowed.

(drop by / drop off)

查看答案

drop by — 你回家途中会去朋友的公寓一趟,空格后又直接是地点 your flat,所以选 drop by。Drop off 用于送某个人或某样东西到某处:I'll drop off your umbrella。不能用 drop off your flat 表达拜访公寓。

邀请朋友来短暂坐坐。使用 drop by,说明哪一天,以及你会把什么东西交给对方。

Drop by on Saturday morning and I'll give you the camping tent you asked about.
