consult有3个不同的意思,相对应地也有三种不同的用法。在使用时,要确保每种用法的语法和句式结构都能对应的上,而且用的正确。
一.consult表示“寻求意见或信息”。这时,consult作及物动词,需要加宾语。
错误用法:
Would the employer be obliged to consult before reducing pay?
雇主在减薪前需要先咨询吗?
正确用法:
Would the employer be obliged to consult the employee representatives before reducing pay?
雇主在减薪前需要先咨询员工代表吗?
You can also consult a dictionary, an encyclopedia, or any other written reference.
你也可以向字典、百科全书或者任何书面文献寻求信息。
E.g.: If you don’t know how to spell a word, consult a dictionary.
例句:如果你不知道怎么拼写单词,你可以去查字典。
Always put the person or thing being consulted after the word “consult”:
consult作及物动词时,一定要在consult后加某人或某物。
错误用法:
We recommend consulting the transaction with the works council.
我们建议向工会咨询交易事项。
正确用法:
We recommend consulting the works council about the transaction.
我们建议向工会咨询有关交易的事项。
In sentences like this, consult with is incorrect. Instead use about or for.
在consult后要加介词的话,用with是不正确的,可以用about或者for代替。
You consult somebody about …
你可以向某人咨询......
E.g.: The employer must consult the employee representatives about reducing pay.
例句:雇主必须向员工代表咨询减薪事宜。
You consult something for …
你可以向某物寻求信息......
E.g.: He consulted the company website for information on internships.
例句:他在该公司的网页上找实习工作的相关信息。
二.当你用consult表示“讨论某事以便做决定”的意思时,你可以在consult后用介词with,因为这时consult是不及物动词,你可以在consult和with之间加任何内容。
E.g.: He consulted with his lawyer for 15 minutes before returning to the meeting.
例句:在他回去开会之前,他向律师咨询了15分钟。
三.“to consult”也可以表示“作为一名顾问”的意思。这种用法,consult也是不及物动词,后面可加介词for。
E.g.: He retired last year, but still consults for his old firm.
例句:他去年退休了,不过仍然在为老东家做顾问。
