listen to 和hear 都有“聽(tīng)”的意思，但含義有所不同。Listen to強(qiáng)調(diào)“聽(tīng)”的動(dòng)作，hear 強(qiáng)調(diào)“聽(tīng)”的結(jié)果。例如：Listen to me ,please! I’m going to tell you a story. 請(qǐng)聽(tīng)我說(shuō)!我給你們講個(gè)故事。

Listen! Can you hear someone crying in the next room? 聽(tīng)!你能聽(tīng)見(jiàn)有人在隔壁房間里哭嗎?

I listened, but heard nothing.我聽(tīng)了聽(tīng)，但什么也聽(tīng)不見(jiàn)。

hear 后面如果接賓語(yǔ)從句，常常表示“聽(tīng)說(shuō)”。例如：

I hear some foreign students will visit our school.我聽(tīng)說(shuō)一些外國(guó)學(xué)生將要訪問(wèn)我們學(xué)校。

I hear there is going to be a film in our school this evening.我聽(tīng)說(shuō)今晚我們學(xué)校要演一場(chǎng)電影。
