英文疑难详解 134.listen to, listen for, listen in 的分别

1704793772
在 Maugham 的 Of Human Bondage 一书第四章中有云: Mrs. Carey knowing by what train they were coming, waited in the drawing-room and listened for the click of the gate. When she heard it she went to the door.普通在 listen 后都是接 to,为什么在此接 for,二者有何不同?

【解答】在自动词 listen 后接的介词最普通的是 to,此外还可以接 for,也可以接 in。我们收听广播,或窃听别人讲话(尤其是在电话中),就说 listen in,如:
1704793775
1704793776
When I called on him he was listening in on the radio.(当我去看他时,他正在听广播。)
1704793777
1704793778

1704793779
1704793780
I like to listen in to symphonies and chamber music (on the radio).(我爱收听交响乐和室乐。)
1704793781
1704793782
唯有 listen to 和 listen for 这两个说法,意思近似,要注意加以分辨,以免用错。listen for 含有“期待”的感觉,listen to 则无此意,而只是对已存在的声音倾耳去听而已。说 listen to the footsteps 是对已经发生的脚步声倾耳去听,而 listen for the footsteps 则是还未听到任何足音,只是期待着而用心在听。又 listen to 除普通作“倾听”解外,还另有“听从”、“服膺”的意思,如:
1704793783
1704793784
A man of character always listens to reason on all occasions.(一个有品格的人在任何场合都是服从理性的。)
1704793785
1704793786
兹再就这两种说法举例如下:
1704793787
1704793788
It is a mother who always listens for a baby’s cry.(时时刻刻都在注意婴孩哭声的就是母亲。)
1704793789
1704793790
Please listen carefully for the telephone bell while I’m upstairs.(当我到楼上去了的时候,请你注意听着电话。)
1704793791
1704793792

1704793793
1704793794

1704793795

1704793797

1704793799
1704793800

1704793801
1704793802
在 listen to 的后面接指人的词和不定词,不过通常那不定词的“to”不要,如:
1704793803
1704793804
