商务英语写作:关于consult的正确用法

单词consult有三个不同的意思,相对应地也有三种不同的用法。

在使用时,要确保consult的每种用法的语法和句式结构都能对应的

上,而且用的正确。下面是小编整理的一些关于关于consult在商务英

语中的的用法, 希望对大家有所帮助。

1. “Consult”usually means “to seek advice or

information”. It is a transitive verb, which means it needs an

object.

一. consult表示“寻求意见或信息”。这时,consult作及物动

词,需要加宾语。

WRONG

错误用法:

Would the employer be obliged to consult before reducing

pay?

雇主在减薪前需要先咨询吗?

RIGHT

正确用法:

Would the employer be obliged to consult the employee

representatives before reducing pay?

雇主在减薪前需要先咨询员工代表吗?

You can also consult a dictionary, an encyclopedia, or any

other written reference.

你也可以向字典、百科全书或者任何书面文献寻求信息。

E.g.: If you don’t know how to spell a word, consult a

dictionary.

例句:如果你不知道怎么拼写单词,你可以去查字典。

Always put the person or thing being consulted after the

word “consult”:

consult作及物动词时,一定要在consult后加某人或某物。

WRONG

错误用法:

We recommend consulting the transaction with the works

council.

我们建议向工会咨询交易事项。

RIGHT

正确用法:

We recommend consulting the works council about the

transaction.

我们建议向工会咨询有关交易的事项。

In sentences like this, consult with is incorrect. Instead use

about or for.

在consult后要加介词的话,用with是不正确的,可以用about

或者for代替。

You consult somebody about …

你可以向某人咨询......

E.g.: The employer must consult the employee

representatives about reducing pay.

例句:雇主必须向员工代表咨询减薪事宜。

You consult something for …

你可以向某物寻求信息......

E.g.: He consulted the company website for information on

internships.

例句:他在该公司的网页上找实习工作的相关信息。

2. You can only use consult with when “consult”means

“discuss something in order to make a decision”. In this case it

is an intransitive verb, so you cannot write anything between the

words “consult”and “with”:

二. 当你用consult表示“讨论某事以便做决定”的意思时,你可

以在consult后用介词with,因为这时consult是不及物动词,你不

可以在consult和with之间加任何内容。

E.g.: He consulted with his lawyer for 15 minutes before

returning to the meeting.

例句:在他回去开会之前,他向律师咨询了15分钟。

3. “To consult”can also mean “to act as a consultant”. In

this case it is also an intransitive verb. It may be followed by

“for”:

三. “to consult”也可以表示“作为一名顾问”的意思。这种用

法,consult也是不及物动词,后面可加介词for。

E.g.: He retired last year, but still consults for his old firm.

例句:他去年退休了,不过仍然在为老东家做顾问。
