Overview
without headphones)是怎么熬过来的吗?或者你点了一杯加了燕麦奶(with oat milk)的咖啡,结果发现要多付一块钱?这两个小词,with 和 without,简直是英语里的“氛围大师”。它们告诉你什么东西是带了的,什么东西是缺的。它们就像你句子里的加号和减号。无论你是在写 Tinder 简介,还是在 App 上点个卷饼,你都得用到这些“工具”。虽然简单,但分量十足。一个让你与世界连接,另一个给你留出宝贵的个人空间。来看看它们在日常生活中是怎么发挥作用的吧。with 和 without 想象成英语里的好哥们。一个是社交达人,喜欢把大家聚在一起(with);另一个是极简主义者,更喜欢简简单单(without)。它们是介词。听起来挺高大上,其实就是用来展示事物之间关系的。如果你手里拿着手机,你就是 with your phone。如果你在派对上把它弄丢了(这种事儿大家都经历过),你就是 without it。这些词能帮你描述周围的环境,明确你的需求,还能表达你的感受。对于 A1 阶段的学习者来说,它们简直是“必备”,因为到处都能见到。从 Instagram 的配文到工作面试,你根本躲不开它们。不过,干嘛要躲呢?它们能让你的句子变得清晰又具体。没有它们,你可能就像个迷路的游客一样只能到处乱指;有了它们,你听起来就像个非常清楚自己想要什么的高手。How This Grammar Works
with 和 without 就像玩乐高积木一样,直接拼上去就行。不需要改拼写,也不用担心复杂的动词时态,它们稳得很!你只需要把介词放在名词或代词前面。比如,with + my friend(和我的朋友)或者 without + her(没有她)。这就是它的基本引擎。它对人、物体,甚至像“爱”或“恐惧”这种抽象概念都好使。你可以用它们来描述你做事的方式,比如 with a pen(用钢笔写)。也可以描述你身上带了啥。你是带了伞(with an umbrella),还是没带伞淋成落汤鸡(without one)?这些词在点餐时也超级好用,这直接决定了你吃的是个普通的汉堡还是一个“杰作”。记住,它们后面永远得跟着个宾语。你不能只说 I am with,不然别人会等着你把话说完:“和谁?和啥?”别让人家在那里尴尬地等着!就像伸出手想击掌却没人理一样。Formation Pattern
with 或 without。
with | sugar | I drink tea with sugar.
without | shoes | She walks without shoes.
with | us | They play with us.
She, 还是 They,介词都长得一模一样。它是句子里最忠诚的部分。你也可以把它们放在句首来加强语气。Without you, I am lost.(非常“抓马”,简直是歌词或求和短信的必备)。或者,With this app, I can learn English faster. 这种灵活性让它们非常好用。只要遵循这个模式:[Action/Thing] + [Preposition] + [Noun/Pronoun]。这绝对是万能公式。
When To Use It
with 和 without。来看看最常见的几种情况:- 伴随: 当你和别人一起做事时。“我在商场
withSarah。” 这说明你不是个孤独的灵魂。 - 工具和手段: 你是怎么完成动作的?“我正
with我的新三脚架拍这条 TikTok。” 三脚架就是你的工具。 - 配料和特征: 点餐或买数码产品时最管用。“一杯
with香草糖浆的拿铁”或者“一台with触摸屏的笔记本电脑”。 - 方式或感受: 你感觉如何?“他说话
withconfidence(充满自信)。” 或者“她withoutinterest(没精打采)地听着。”(哎呀,这就有点扎心了)。 - 拥有: 你身上有什么特征?“那个
with蓝色头发的女孩。” 这能帮你从人群中一眼认出某人。 - 条件: “
Without票你进不去。” 这就是在定规矩。
without 来救救你的晚餐!Common Mistakes
- 用
no代替without: 别说I go to school with no books.
虽然别人能听懂,但听起来有点别扭。用I go to school
这样更地道。withoutbooks. - 语序不对: 别在简单的陈述句里把介词放最后,比如
The sugar
应该说withtea is good.Tea
介词最喜欢待在“风暴中心”。withsugar is good. - 想说
with却用了and:I study and my friend
是错的。应该用I study
withmy friend. - 忘了加宾语: 你不能只说
I am without.没啥了?没手机了?没尊严了?还是没钥匙了?一定要把话说完。 - 搞混
with和by: 这个太常见了。别说I write by a pen.
要用I write
witha pen.with指的是具体的物理工具。by通常指方式(比如by hand纯手工)。
with you),而不是针对你!Contrast With Similar Patterns
with 和 without 的风头。咱们来把它们掰扯清楚:withvs.for:with表示连接。“我with你(在一起)。”for表示目的或受益。“这杯咖啡是for你(给你的)。” 如果你是给别人咖啡,用for;如果你俩一起喝,用with。withoutvs.except:without表示不在场或缺失。“我without汽车(我没车)。”except表示从群体中排除。“除了 John 大家都在(exceptJohn)。” 描述你没有的东西用without;描述你从名单里划掉的东西用except。withvs.by: 就像前面提过的,with是工具。“With刀把它切开。”by指人或者手段。“它是byMark 切开的。” 或者 “我bybus(坐公交)旅行。”

Smart Tips
Always use 'with' for what you want and 'without' for what you don't want. It's the most polite and clear way to order.
Change it to 'me' or 'us' immediately. Prepositions always take the object form.
Use 'with' for things they are wearing or physical features. It's like a shortcut for a long sentence.
Always add '-ing' to the verb. Never use 'to' or the base form.
发音
The 'th' in With
In 'with', the 'th' can be voiced /ð/ or unvoiced /θ/. Both are correct.
Linking
When 'with' is followed by a vowel, the 'th' links to the next word.
Reduction of Without
In fast speech, the first syllable of 'without' is very short.
Emphasis on Without
I said WITHOUT sugar!
Used when a mistake was made in an order.
记住它
记忆技巧
WITH: We Include These Here. WITHOUT: We Ignore These Out Under Today.
视觉联想
Imagine a magnet. 'With' is the magnet pulling two things together. 'Without' is the same poles pushing things apart, leaving a gap.
Rhyme
With is for a friend or tool, Without means empty, that's the rule!
Story
A chef is making a soup. He adds salt 'with' a spoon. He realizes he is 'without' onions. He goes to the store 'with' his bag.
Word Web
挑战

文化笔记
In the UK, 'with' is often used in the phrase 'Are you finished with that?' when a waiter wants to take your plate.
Americans often use 'with' in the phrase 'to go with' meaning to match or look good together.
When invited to a party, 'with' usually implies you can bring a guest ('plus one'), while 'without' is rarely used on invitations but implied if no guest is mentioned.
'With' comes from Old English 'wið', which originally meant 'against' or 'opposite' (like in 'withstand'). 'Without' comes from 'wið' + 'utan' (outside).

常见问题 (8)
Yes! In casual English, it is very common. For example: 'Who are you going with?' is more natural than 'With whom are you going?'
Yes, it has a negative meaning (lack of something), but it doesn't make the whole sentence grammatically negative like 'not' does.
Use `with` for tools (with a hammer) and `by` for methods or people (by bus, by John).
Use 'with me' for normal accompaniment. 'With myself' is only used if you are the subject of the sentence (e.g., 'I am angry with myself').
Yes, but use the -ing form. 'He left without eating.'
No, it is just an abbreviation for 'with' used in texting and note-taking.
Use 'with'. For example: 'The boy with green eyes.'
No, that is a double negative. Say 'without any' or just 'without' + noun.
