有時看到spend on,有時看到spend in,什麼原因呢?

(1)表示花費金錢,可用spend on,例如:
He spends a lot [of money] on entertaining friends.

他花很多錢款待朋友。

註:可不用介系詞:

He spends a lot [of money] entertaining friends.

(2)亦可用spend for,例如:
How much did you spend for [on] that book?

你花了多少錢買那本書?

(3)表示花費時間,可用spend on或spend in,例如:

He spends very little time on his studies.
他在學習上花的時間甚少。
She spends too much time in dressing herself.

她用太多時間來打扮。
註:亦可不用介系詞:

She spends too much time dressing herself.

(4)表示花費時間或金錢做某事,常常省略介系詞,口語中尤甚:

I'd rather spend money travelling than buying a flat.

我寧願花錢旅遊,也不願買樓。
