Linda learned English with her walkman.

题目

Linda learned English with her walkman.
这句可不可以用“Linda learned English by her walkman.
难道说这种用法跟by bus之类的不一样吗？我有点晕了。还是说要用by而且不用by + doing的话，要直接写by walkman，或者说这种说法也是错误的？

答案

Linda learned English with her walkman.(意思是Linda是用随身听来学习英语的.)这里的"with ",意思是某种工具或手段.不可以用"by",虽然两者都有共同意思,但用法不一样,如果用"by",应该是by+动词—ing.意为：“通过…,靠…,凭…”.Linda learned English by using her walkman.
