词义辨析

n. (名词)

at the beginning, from the beginning, in the beginning

• 这组短语都有“开始”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.at the beginning是“起初…”,后来可能有变化; from the beginning是“从一开头便…”,并不是“后来才…”。例如:
• I opposed the plan at the beginning.我起初反对这个计划(也许后来不反对了)。
• I opposed the plan from the beginning.我一开始就反对这个计划(并不是后来才反对的)。
• 2.at the beginning和in the beginning没有太大的区别, in the beginning现在用得较少。但说“世界之初”时必须用in; 而在begin at the beginning这一短语里的at不可以改为in。例如:
• She disliked the new house at〔in〕 the beginning.她起初不喜欢这栋新房子。
• They begin at the beginning.他们从头开始。
• In the beginning there was no air.世界之初没有空气。

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 我已经把这本书从头到尾读完了。

   误 I have read the book from the beginning to the end.

   正 I have read the book from beginning to end.

   析 from beginning to end是固定习语,表示“从头至尾”, beginning和end之前不能加冠词。
