区别辨析go out与hang out

搭配 “go out” 和 “hang out” 都包含 “进行娱乐、社交活动” 的含义,但它们之间有微妙的区别,需要结合语境来理解。

首先,“go out” 的基本含义是 “离开家出去进行一项活动”,通常用来表示 “出门进行一项娱乐或社交活动”,也就是口语里常说的 “出去玩”。比如:

  • I’m going out with some workmates tonight.
    今晚我要和几个同事出去玩。

不过,“go out” 也泛指 “离开家,出门”,比如:I’m going out to the shops. 我要去商店。

注意,搭配 “go out with someone” 的意思则是 “与人交往”。

搭配 “hang out” 的意思是 “没有特定目的地一起待着”,其后可接 “someone” 或 “somewhere” 表示 “和某人一起玩 hang out with someone”、“去某处玩 hang out somewhere”。

  • I’m hanging out with friends tonight.
    今晚我要和朋友们一起玩。
  • We’re going to hang out at a bowling alley.
    我们要去保龄球馆玩。
  • After school, I always hung out with my friends at the park.
    以前放学后,我总是和朋友们一起去公园里玩。
  • Phil and his friends were going out for a meal.
    菲尔要和他的朋友们出去吃饭。
  • Ann and Andrew have been going out for a year – their relationship is getting quite serious.
