打開你的「英語腦」：別再用「中文腦」學英文

4. I can't reach the pens. Would you throw one ＿＿＿ me? 我無法拿到筆，可以丟一支給我嗎？

網路上查字典得知，throw作「投、擲」解時，後面可以接at或to，所以就 隨便猜一個：I can't reach the pens.. Would you throw one at me?

throw後面若接at，通常是在含有怒氣或敵意的情境下，有一種要「丟到」 人的感覺，所以用to更恰當。

I can't reach the pens. Would you throw one to me?

5. Helen usually goes to work ＿＿＿ her car. 海倫通常開車上班。
 

考慮到「用」某個交通工具，「中文腦」自動聯結到with，答案就變成： Helen usually goes to work with her car.
 

with除了是「用（工具）」外，另有「與…一起」的意思，所以本句若填 with，會變成是人和車子結伴而行的感覺。by也解作「靠、用、透過」，卻 沒有上述問題，亦不須多此一舉加所有格。
 

Helen usually goes to work by car.
