这是高中英语新教程译林版必学1第2单元的句子。

我了解 go to school, in school, at school 这类固定搭配是不需要冠词。但这个 school 不是这些吧,为何没冠词?

你误会了。并非说只有go to school, in school, at school 这类固定搭配才不需要冠词。School前面用不需要冠词主要与它所表示的意思有关。

1.表示“学校”时,若指的是具体的place,是可数名词,其前需要依据语境的需要用冠词或其他限定词。如:

The school is beautiful. 这所学校非常美。

This is a modern school. 这是一所现代化的学校。

My home lies back of the school. 我家就在学校后面。

Just across from our house there’s a school. 就在大家房屋的对面有一所学校。

但,若它不是表示“学校”本身,而是指与之有关的一些活动(如上课、学习等),是不可数名词,且此时一般不需要冠词。如:

School begins in September. 学校9月开学。

School begins at eight. 学校8点开始上课。

He is at school now. 他目前在上课。

He finished school last year. 他去年完成学业。

比较下面的句子:

He goes to school every day. 他天天都去上学(念书)。

He goes to the school every day. 他天天都去这所学校。

She likes school. 她喜欢上学。

She likes the school. 她喜欢这所学校。

2.补充:汉语说“上学”(念书、学习),英语用 go to school,其中的school前不需要冠词,即便school用于专有名词也是一样。如:

He goes to HongxingSchool. 他上红星中学。

He went to No. 6 Middle School of Changsha. 他上长沙6中。

但,若school前有描绘性修饰语,则一般要用不定冠词。如:

They go to a good school. 他们进了一所好学校。

Our children go to a mixedschool. 大家的孩子上男女混合的学校。

不过,假如school前的修饰语不是描绘性的,而只不过表明一种分类,则用不需要冠词均可(但以不需要为普通)。如:

If I were you, I’d go to night school. 假如我是你,我就上夜校。

Boththeir children go to boarding school. 他们的两个孩子都上寄宿学校。

I’m the only one who’s gone to a public high school. 我是唯一上过公立中学的人。

但,如若需特指,则其前要用定冠词。如:

It is very important that he should go to the School of Art. 他上美术学校至关要紧。

Many children are not able to go to the school oftheir choice. 很多孩子不可以上他们想上的学校。

值得注意的是,即便有后置修饰语修饰,若意义不是特指,其前也不需要定冠词,而用不定冠词。如:

We go to a school close to our home. 大家去一所离家非常近的学校上学。
