题目

tell jokes on sb,tell jokes with sb,tell jokes to tell jokes on sb与play jokes on sb有什么不同?

答案

tell jokes on sb = tell jokes about sb, 讲关于某人的笑话.
例如：
I will tell you some jokes about Jack.
我给你们讲几个关于杰克的笑话.
play jokes on sb, 耍弄某人,对某人恶作剧.
例如：
I just played some jokes on him, no big deal.
我只是对他恶作剧而已,没什么大不了的.
tell jokes to sb = tell sb jokes, 给某人讲笑话.
例如：
Let me tell some jokes to the girls.
我去给姑娘们讲些笑话吧.
tell jokes with sb则没有这种搭配用法,“用某人讲笑话”的语意不通.
