I've finished burning my holiday photos.
對話 Tony: I've just finished burning my holiday photos.
Gordon: What did you do that for? Weren't they any good?
Tony: No, you don't understand, I meant I've just finished burning them on to CD. I can view them on my computer now.
Gordon: I didn't know you could do that.
Tony: Yes, it's dead easy. Come round with some photos of your own and I'll show you how to do it.
Gordon: Great! Thanks a lot. I'm on my way.
東尼：我剛把假期拍的照片都燒了。
戈登：為什么燒了？拍得不好嗎？
東尼：不是，你誤會了。我是說，剛把照片都燒錄到光盤上，現(xiàn)在可在計算機上看了。
戈登：我不知道可以這樣做。
東尼：可以，而且非常容易。你去拿一些自己的照片，再來找我，我示范給你看。
戈登：好啊，謝謝，我現(xiàn)在就去。 I have finished burning my photos on to CD這一句，on to可以改為onto嗎？從前，onto被視為on to的錯誤寫法。Concise Oxford Dictionary（簡明牛津字典）一九九○年才收錄onto，但仍注明這個字‘有爭議’(disputed)。今天，一般意見是onto指‘到……之上’，可和on to通用，例如：The cat jumped onto/on to the roof（貓兒跳到屋頂上）。
留意onto和on to有時未必同義。請比較以下兩句：(1) He walked onto the platform。(2) He walked on to the platform。第一句是說‘他走到月臺上’，第二句on to合起來讀，也是說‘他走到月臺上’，但假如稍為分開來讀，則是說‘他繼續(xù)走，到了月臺’：on有‘繼續(xù)’的意思，例如He talked on（他繼續(xù)說）、He worked on（他繼續(xù)工作）等。閱讀時，看上下文，當(dāng)可知道on to應(yīng)怎樣解釋。
假如on to并非解作‘到……之上’，就不可寫作onto，例如：(1) Please send the letter on to him（請把信轉(zhuǎn)寄給他）。(2) He went on to criticize me（跟著，他開始批評我）。
說把影像、音樂或其它數(shù)據(jù)燒錄到光盤上，自然用on to或onto都可以，例如：With a CD burner, you can burn your favorite songs onto/on to a CD（有光盤燒錄器，就可以把你喜歡的歌曲燒錄到光盤上）。Burning a CD or DVD has never been easier即‘燒錄光盤或數(shù)字多用途光盤，從來沒有像今天那么容易’。(
