保证没走错 To Be On The Safe Side
In a cinema during a performance one of the audience gets up, makes his way along the row of seats and goes out into the foyer.A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:
在一家电影院里,一名观众在演出期间站了起来,沿着他那排位子走到休息室去了。几分钟后,他回到那排位子并问坐在首位的那位男士道:
Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago?
对不起,请问我刚才出去的时候是踩着你的脚吗?
Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all.
是的,不过没什么关系,一点也不疼。
Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row.
噢,不,我不是这个意思。我只是想确认一下这是不是我的那排位子。
1.get up
get up有起床,起立等很多意思,在这里说一个问题:
get up是一个瞬间动词,也就是说它只是一个很短暂的动作。
如果我们要表达说他已经起床半小时了,怎么说呢?
He has gotten up for half an hour.(错误)
He has been up for half an hour.(正确)
be up就是get up的延续体,也就是说be up是一个延续性动词。
接下来介绍几种由非延续性动词到延续性动词的转换:
arrive→be here begin(start)→be on
die→be dead come back→be back
go out→be out put on→wear
borrow→keep buy/get→have
2.make one's way
make one’s way…是一个英语中较常用的词组,意思是“动身(到某处)去;前进,向前;行进”。
Eg:Dickens made his way to the woods.迪肯斯朝树林走去。
3.make sure
make sure是确认的意思,这点毫无疑问。介绍两个搭配:
make sure to do
make sure sb do sth
