call on sb.和call in on sb.的区别？

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

call in on 是个固定词组，意为“拜访；看望”，宾语一般是“人”，不是“打电话”。其中in是副词，on是介词。例如：
When she went to the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything.
她在去商店买东西的时候常常去她母亲那，看母亲是否要买些东西。
Could you call in on Mum on your way home?
你能在回家的路上顺便看看妈妈吗？
Please call in on me any time you're in town.
你什么时候来城里就顺便来坐坐。追答

call on 的意思较多，如“号召，请求，拜访”等。call on sb.也是“拜访某人”，跟call in on sb.的区别是，后者强调“到某人家中拜访”，这是副词in 的缘故。

I'm going to call on one of my former classmates.

我要去看望我的一位老同学。（拜访）

You'd better call on your friends to help you.

你最好请朋友来帮你。（请求）

That's what the Party called on us to do.

那是党号召我们做的事。（号召）

追问

call for sb.是不是也有号召的意思

Answer 2

区别很大:
call on somebody = visit 去亲自到来拜访
call in on somebody = phone call 打个电话
