at the beginning和in the beginning的区别: 1、at the beginning 常常跟of短语连用,如果后面没有跟of短语,则大都可以从上下文看出来。 at the beginning of可以指时间,也可以指位置。指时间时(着重于一点)意为“在……之初”,指位置时意为“在……开头”。 这个词不能用于句子的开头。 This happened at the beginning of the year. This word can’t be used at the beginning of the sentence. 2、in the beginning仅指时间(着重于时间段),意为“起初、在初期”,相当于at first,其后较少接of短语,常用作状语。 In the beginning she was not interested in swimming,but now she has become a good swimmer. He didn’t like it in the beginning. 3、应当注意,at the beginning 在单独使用时,有时与in the beginning 同义。 He disliked it at / in the beginning. At the beginning he wasn’t interested in it |
