最常用的英語短語運用

下面是我們爲大家精心挑選最常用的英語短語,每條短語都有精闢的說明告訴大家如何運用,而且還配有例句喔!真的很不錯的'!

get on : (to enter, board)

說明】to get on(搭乘,上車) 動詞get的用法很多,常常在後面接用各種不同的介係詞或副詞而形成意義不同的習語。這裏的on是介係詞,後面的bus和subway用作它的受詞。如果on作副詞用,則有進步,相處甚好,與年事已長的意思。

【例】

(1) I always get on the bus at 34th Street.

我總是在34街搭乘公共汽車。

(2) William gets on the subway at the same station every morning.

威廉每天早晨在同一車站搭乘地下火車。

get off : (to leave, descend from)

【說明】to get off (下車)與上面的get on相反。Get off也有好些其它的意義,如寄出,離開等。下車也可以用alight from或get out of a carriage或motor car, 不過下電車或公共汽車多用get off .

【例】

(1) Helen got off the bus at 42nd Street.

海倫在42街下公共汽車。

(2) At what station do you usually get off the subway?

你通常在那一站下地下火車?

put on: (to place on oneself-said particularly of clothes)

【說明】to put on (穿,戴)特別指穿衣服、穿鞋、戴帽、戴眼鏡也用這

個成語。英文中還有wear和dress二字也是穿的意思。可是wear是繼續的動作,表示穿着的狀態,而put on是一時的動作。下面兩個句子都是錯的:

I shall wear my overcoat before I go out (應用put on).

In such cold weather I put on my overcoat all day (應用wear).

dress的意思是①put clothes on後面的受詞一定是人,如

dress a child, dress oneself, be dressed in white, put on clothes, Get up and dress quickly. 快點起來穿好衣服

【例】(1) Mary put on her hat and left the room.

瑪麗戴上她的帽子就離開這屋子。

(2) Why is John putting on his hat and coat?

約翰爲什麼穿衣戴帽呢?

take off : (to remove-said also of clothes)

【說明】to take off (脫去)與put on 的意義相反,指脫去衣物鞋帽.民可以用put off, 但較不通用。

【例】(1) John took off his hat as he entered the room.

約翰在這屋時脫下他的帽子。

(2) Is Helen taking off her coat because it is too warm in the room?

海倫是不是因爲室內太暖和而脫去她的外衣呢?
