“welcome”的正确用法
welcome是初中生就应该掌握的单词。但是我在实际生活中常常发现，高中生、大学生也经常用“we welcome you to our home\"来表示“欢迎你来我家”，甚至主持2008奥运会倒计时一周年的CCTV英语播音员也犯了同样的错误！为什么会犯这种错误呢？我认为一方面是由于中文的干扰，另一方面是因为welcome的词性、词义多，不易掌握。为防止学生再次犯这种错误，我将“welcome”的用法作如下归纳，并告诉学生每一个句型的确切含义。后来，学生就基本能够正确地使用welcome了。1. n. greeting on arrival 迎接
She gave us a warm/kind/cold welcome. 她热情地/友好地/冷淡地接待了我们。
2. interj. an expression of greeting to a guest or someone who has just arrived
Welcome home/back.欢迎你/你们回来。
Welcome to our home/China. 欢迎你/你们到我家/中国来。
3. vt. A. show that you are pleased when someone or something comes; 欢迎、乐意接受
Mr. Green welcomed us to his house. 格林先生高高兴兴地把我们接到他家。
We were warmly welcomed. 我们受到了热烈的欢迎。
B. show that you like something; 赞成/欢迎
Mr. Bill welcomed our plan.比尔先生赞成我们的计划。
4. adj received with giving, pleasure 受欢迎的，讨人喜爱的
You are a welcome guest.你是受欢迎的客人。
be welcome to do sth/to sth 可随意做某事，可随意取用某物
You are welcome to borrow my bike.你可以随意借用我的自行车。
You are welcome to the use of my car. 你可以随意借用我的车。
you' re welcome(to it)=Don't mention it别客气(回答对方道谢时用语)。
对welcome不同的词性、词义了解之后，近一步总结几个常用句型：
1、“欢迎某人做某事”可以说sb. is welcome to do sth，但不可以说welcome sb. to do sth。例如：
我们欢迎你来访问北京。
误：We welcome you to visit Beijing.
正：You are welcome to visit Beijing.
2、“欢迎某人来某处”不能用welcome sb to some place, 但可以用 be welcome to some place。例如：
欢迎你来我北京（或北京欢迎你）
误：Welcome you to Beijing.
正：(You are ) welcome to Beijing.
3、他们热烈地欢迎我们。
误：We were warmly welcomed by them.
正：We were given a warm welcome.
正：They gave us a warm welcome.
正：We received a warm welcome. Mr. Green welcomed us to his house. 格林先生高高兴兴地把我们接到他家。
这句不是weicome sb to someplace结构么？
