介词by的用法

Mr Li makes a living by driving taxis.李先生靠开出租车为生。
介词by + v.-ing 结构常用来回答How do you...?或How can I...?之类的问题。 —How do you learn English? 你怎样学习英语呢?
—I learn English by reading aloud. 我通过大声朗读来学英语。 —How can I turn on the computer? 我怎样才能打开电脑呢? —By pressing this button. 按这个按钮。 [相关链接]
by 是个常用介词,其他用法还有:
①表示位置,意思是“在„„旁边”,“靠近„„”,有时可与beside互换。 The girls are playing by (beside) the lake. 女孩们正在湖边玩。 此时要注意它与介词near有所不同,即by 表示的距离更“近”。 比较:
He lives by the sea. 他住在海滨。 He lives near the sea. 他住在离海不远处。 ②表示交通方式,意为“乘坐”,后接表示交通工具的名词(如 bus, bike, train, plane, car, taxi, ship等)或与交通工具密切相关的名词(如air, water, land, road等),在句中主要用作方式状语,其中通常不用冠词或其他限定词。
Jim often goes to work by bike. 吉姆常骑自行车上班。
但是,若表示交通工具的名词前插有定语修饰语,则也可以用冠词。如: We’re going by the 9:30 train. 我们坐9:30的火车去。
We went to Shanghai by a large ship. 我们乘一艘大船去上海。 注意,汉语说“步行”,英语习惯上用on foot, 而不用 by foot。 注意以下表示方式的有用表达,其中不用冠词或其他限定词:
by phone 用电话 by telegram 用电报 by letter 用信件 by express 用快件 by air mail 用航空邮件 by ordinary mail 用平信 by post 用邮寄 by radio 用无线电 by hand 用手工 by machine 用机器
③表示时间,意思是“在„„以前;不迟于„„”。
e.g. My mother will come back by 6:00. 我妈妈将在六点前回来。 ④ 表示动词执行者,意思是“被;由”,主要用于被动语态,此时要注意它与介词with的区别:by 表示动作的主体,with 表示动作者的手段工具。如: The house was destroyed by fire. 此屋被大火烧毁。(fire是动作的主体,此句的主动形式为Fire destroyed the house.)
The house was destroyed with fire. 此屋是(被人)用火烧毁的。(fire只是工具,动作的主体另有其人,此句可认为省略了一个by短语,如by someone之类的,其主动形式可以是 Someone destroyed the house with fire.)
【延伸拓展】
介词with,in,through与by相同,也可以表示“通过(用)”,但有所区别。
①“with + 名词” ①表示用„„工具(具体有形的工具)②(表材料或内容)以„„,用„„来填充 We see with our eyes and hear with our ears. 我们用眼睛看用耳朵听。
②“in + 名词”表示“用„„方式,用„„原料或用„„语言(语调、笔墨、颜色)等;”。 Listen!They’re talking in English. 听!他们正在用英语交谈。
③“through + n.”表示“通过某种方式、由于某种理由、穿过”,多强调作用或原因。 You can achieve success only through your hard work. 你只有通过努力工作才能获得成功。 [趁热打铁]
