老师,您好。不好意思,打扰您一下,向您请教英语问题。

Yoghurt is made from milk. Cheese is made from milk. 据我所学,be made from是指原材料看不见。酸奶由牛奶制作而成,奶酪由牛奶制作而成,这两个都可以看出原材料哦,为什么不可以用be made of哦?

谢谢您!

您好!

可不可以先怀疑一下您的所学?“be made from是指原材料看不见”通常是中国教师给出的解释,但是有时候,这样的解释有可能会过于概括、有偏解,或者读者本人会有自己的解读(如您的情况)。通常,凌哥建议英语教师读一读英语文章中的解释。

关于be made of和be made from,《剑桥英语词典》有专门的讨论页面。其中提到:

Made from

We often use made from when we talk about how something is manufactured:

Plastic is made from oil.

The earliest canoes were made from tree trunks.

Made of

We use made of when we talk about the basic material or qualities of something. It has a meaning similar to 'composed of’:

She wore a beautiful necklace made of silver.

A: What’s this table made of?

B: It’s oak, American white oak.

A: It’s lovely.

Made out of

We usually use made out of when we talk about something that has been changed or transformed from one thing into another:

In the 1970s, it was popular to have candle-holders made out of wine bottles.

They were living in tents made out of old plastic sheets.

从文字中可以看到,be made from是指“物品是由……经过加工制造(manufacture)的”。

而be made of指的是“物品的材质是……”。be made out of则是指“物品是由……改造的”。

这就能解释“Yoghurt is made from milk. Cheese is made from milk.”酸奶和奶酪是由牛奶加工而来的。而从材质的角度来说,酸奶和奶酪本身就是材质。举个例子您就明白了:

This cute little “mouse” is made of cheese.
