Question

go downtown,可以用go to the downtown吗?
go downtown,副词
但downtown也可以作名词,go to the downtown是正确的吗

Answer 1

这个就跟语言习惯有关.
downtown是可以作名词,比如Most of the old buildings in the downtown were plucked down,and new ones erected.(市中心的大部分建筑物都拆掉了,建起了新的房子.)
但是大多数情况下是作副词和形容词.
go to the downtown,说不出哪里错了,但从没听过这种说法.再说go downtown又纯正又简便,为什么不用它呢?
