hear of與hear about的意義相近，這兩個(gè)詞組在英語(yǔ)中有時(shí)可以通用。它們含有“聽(tīng)人說(shuō)起”，“從書(shū)報(bào)上看到關(guān)于”等意義。

hear of與hear about的區(qū)別

一、用法不同

hear of + sb/sth 聽(tīng)到或知道某人[某事物]的情況

例句：

I have never heard of him since he left. 自從他離開(kāi)后，我再?zèng)]聽(tīng)到過(guò)他的消息。

I have heard of the song. 我曾聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這首歌。(注意：這里提及的不是聽(tīng)到這首歌，而是聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這首歌)

hear about + sth. 聽(tīng)到關(guān)與某事物的消息

例句：

I've just heard about his promotion. 我剛剛聽(tīng)到了他被提升的事。

I've just heard about his illness. 我剛聽(tīng)說(shuō)他生病的事。

二、常用語(yǔ)句不同

hear of (v.+prep.=vt)(常用與于疑問(wèn)、否定句等)聽(tīng)說(shuō)，得知某事或某人的存在。

例句：Why did I never hear of this'? I asked, amazed. 我怎么從來(lái)沒(méi)聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)?我吃驚地問(wèn)。

hear about (常用于肯定句中)聽(tīng)到(關(guān)于)

例句：I did hear about you, though. 我倒真的聽(tīng)說(shuō)了你的事情。

三、意思不同

hear about表示只是聽(tīng)說(shuō)知道而已，hear of表示聽(tīng)說(shuō)，而且是非常了解。

hear是指主觀聽(tīng)到，而hear about是指間接聽(tīng)到，兩者的聽(tīng)到順序不同。

hear of的用法
