误 He is whispering his neighbour,“let's go hunting.”
正 He is whispering to his neighbour,“let's go hunting.”
析whisper可以用作及物动词,但其宾语应该是whisper的内容,而不是对象,当宾语是对象时,须加介词to。
误 Jane and Mary are chatting in whisper.
正 Jane and Mary are chatting in a whisper.
正 Jane and Mary are chatting in whispers.
析 表示“低声,耳语”时,应该说in a whisper 或in whispers,而不能说 in whisper。
