Point out 是什么意思?指出错误为何不用 on?

Point out 表示提请注意某个事实或细节,可以接 that 从句。Point at 也有“指”的意思,为什么不能在经理指出数字不符时直接替换?

Point out 表示通过口头或书面表达,让人注意到某事,常用于错误、事实和细节:point out a problem、point out that prices have risen。有时也可以是向人指出一个物体或地点:The guide pointed out the castle。

想在对话中用 point out 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

point out + noun / point it out; point out that + clause; point out + noun + to + person

  • My editor pointed out two errors in the first paragraph.
  • The guide pointed out the oldest house on the street.
  • She pointed out that the train would be cheaper than flying.

修改原因

修改前Thank you for pointing out on my mistake in the report.

修改后Thank you for pointing out my mistake in the report.

Point 常与介词搭配,例如 point at、point to,因此容易多写成 point out on。但 point out 直接接宾语,不需要额外的介词。原句应删去 on。

Cambridge Dictionary

Point at 表示用手指或动作指向:He pointed at the map。Point out 则通常通过语言指出事实或细节:He pointed out that the map was old。说明把这个信息告诉谁时,用 to:She pointed it out to me。

动手练习

During the review, my manager ___ that two numbers in the table did not match.

(pointed out / pointed at)

查看答案

pointed out — 经理指出的是一个事实,后面跟完整的 that 从句,因此选 pointed out。Pointed at 描述朝某个物体做指向动作,不能在这里直接接 that 从句。

回想一次有人发现你在工作或学习中的错误。写出对方是谁,以及具体指出了什么。

Last week my teacher pointed out that I often forget articles before singular nouns.
