英语介词:with 和 without

掌握了“with”和“without”,你就能轻松表达“同伴”、“工具”和“缺少”这些关键细节了!

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'with' to show things or people together, and 'without' to show when something is missing or alone.

  • Use 'with' for people you are with: 'I am with my friend.'
  • Use 'with' for tools or ingredients: 'I eat with a fork.'
  • Use 'without' for things that are missing: 'I like tea without sugar.'
👤 + 🤝 + 👤 = with | 👤 - ☕ = without

Overview

试过在长途飞行中没有耳机(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,withwithout,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(gōngjù)”。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。
withwithout 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(bìbèi)”,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

withwithout 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(jiézuò)”。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

1
用这些介词造句只需要三步,比设置一个新的 Netflix 账号还容易。
2
先说你的核心想法(一个名词或动词短语)。
3
加上介词:withwithout
4
加上宾语(人、物或想法)。
5
来看这张表,感受一下它们是怎么工作的:
6
Subject + Verb | Preposition | Object | Result
7
I drink tea | with | sugar | I drink tea with sugar.
8
She walks | without | shoes | She walks without shoes.
9
They play | with | us | They play with us.
10
发现了吗?介词永远不会变!不管主语是 «I,» 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(zhuāmǎ)”,简直是歌词或求和短信的必备)。或者,

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

你会发现有一万个理由去用 withwithout。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 with Sarah。” 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 with confidence(充满自信)。” 或者“她 without interest(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。
无论是发群聊还是点 Uber Eats,这两个词都是你的“神器(shénqì)”。它们能帮你表达得非常精准。谁也不想在汉堡里吃到意外的洋葱,快用 without 来救救你的晚餐!

Common Mistakes

虽说这两个词简单,但大家还是容易在这儿“翻车(fānchē)”,就像那种想耍帅结果把自己绊了一跤的感觉。
  • 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 without books.
    这样更地道。
  • 语序不对: 别在简单的陈述句里把介词放最后,比如
    The sugar with tea is good.
    应该说
    Tea with sugar is good.
    介词最喜欢待在“风暴中心”。
  • 想说 with 却用了 and:
    I study and my friend
    是错的。应该用
    I study with my 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 withby: 这个太常见了。别说
    I write by a pen.
    要用
    I write with a 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)。
避开这些坑,你看起来就像个老手了。就算犯了错也别担心,英语母语者通常是站在你这边的(with you),而不是针对你!

Contrast With Similar Patterns

有时候别的词会想抢 withwithout 的风头。咱们来把它们掰扯清楚:
  • with vs. 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
  • without vs. 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(except John)。” 描述你没有的东西用 without;描述你从名单里划掉的东西用 except
  • with vs. 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 by Mark 切开的。” 或者 “我 by bus(坐公交)旅行。”
搞清楚这些小区别,就像给你的英语开了 4K 高清,一切都会变得更清晰。

⚠️

别把“with”和“by”搞混了!

记住,“with”是用来指你用的“工具”(比如,
write with a pen
)。而“by”通常是指做动作的人(比如,written by Shakespeare)或方式(比如,travel by bus)。它们不能互换哦!
Write with a pen.
🎯

“without”后面跟动词“-ing”形式。

如果你想说某人做了某事,但没做另一件事,就在“without”后面加一个动词“-ing”形式(动名词)。比如,
She left without saying goodbye.
这是一个很常用也很自然的表达!

💡

在日常生活中多练习!

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.

I want a burger. No onions. I'd like a burger without onions, please.

Change it to 'me' or 'us' immediately. Prepositions always take the object form.

Come with we. Come with us.

Use 'with' for things they are wearing or physical features. It's like a shortcut for a long sentence.

The man has a beard. He is my teacher. The man with the beard is my teacher.

Always add '-ing' to the verb. Never use 'to' or the base form.

He left without say goodbye. He left without saying goodbye.

发音

/wɪð/ or /wɪθ/

The 'th' in With

In 'with', the 'th' can be voiced /ð/ or unvoiced /θ/. Both are correct.

with-a -> /wɪðə/

Linking

When 'with' is followed by a vowel, the 'th' links to the next word.

/wə'θaʊt/

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.

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.
