赞同曹老师的解答。我(ˇˍˇ) 想~从另一个角度谈谈tell的用法,我主要谈两个问题:

第一个问题:tell后面可以接双宾语,即:tell somebody something。

虽然如此,但并非任何名词都可以充当其直接宾语,只有少数名词如:story, tale, joke, lie, secret, truth, news, name, experience等词语才可以,何为直接宾语?它们必须是“讲述,告诉”的直接内容。我们可以说:

tell me a story

tell us a joke

tell him the news

tell them the secret

tell you the truth

......

如果不是tell的直接内容,那么,我们不能说:

tell us the accident

tell him your family

tell me the film

tell us your father

......

上述表达都是不符合逻辑的,因为the accident, your family, the film, your father不能充当tell的直接内容。这时,需要在这些名词之前加上about或of才正确。

tell us about the accident = tell us something about the accident

tell him about your family = tell him smoething about your family

tell me about the film = tell me something about the film

tell us about your father = tell us something about your father

第二个问题:tell her my experience 和 tell her of/about experience 的区别。

这两个说法都对,但是有区别。关于这个区别,首先比较以下两个句子有何异同:

I’ve read the novel and I think it is very instructive. 我读过那本小说,我认为它很有教育意义。

I’ve read about the novel, but I wonder whether it is worth reading at all. 我读过那本小说的介绍,但我不知道它是否值得一读。

read和read about为何有如此大的差别呢?原来,在read the novel中,read是及物动词,是一种直接的阅读;而在read about the novel中,read是不及物动词,是一种间接的阅读,可以理解为在它后面省略了something, 即:read something about the novel。又如:

I know about/of him, but I don’t know him. 我听说过他,但我不认识他。

We heard about/of the pop singer, but unfortunately we haven’t heard her sing. 我们听说过这位流行歌手,但很遗憾我们没有亲耳听她演唱过。

I am not a writer, and I can’t write a novel. But I can write about a novel. 我不是作家,我不会写小说。但我可以写小说评论。

所以,tell her my experience意思是:把我的经历直接告诉他。tell her of/about experience意思是:告诉她有关我的经历的一些事情。(不是经历本身)
