Call in 作"請(qǐng)來"、"找來"、"召來"解，"請(qǐng)人來作某種專業(yè)的咨詢或幫忙"的意思。如：

    The police have been called in to help make it clear.

    Call on和call at的意思一樣，都是"拜訪""訪問"，但call on后接表示人的名詞或代詞，call at 后接表示地點(diǎn)或場(chǎng)所的詞語。試比較：

    I called on the doctor yesterday.
    我昨天去拜訪了醫(yī)生。
    I called at the doctor's yesterday.
    我昨天去了醫(yī)務(wù)室。
    call on還可以"號(hào)召"，后面往往接動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語補(bǔ)主語。如：
    The headmaster called on the students to work harder.
    校長(zhǎng)號(hào)召學(xué)生們更努力地學(xué)習(xí)。
    Call for 有幾個(gè)不同的意思：

    3．表示"喊著要人取來"，相當(dāng)于ask for。如：
