第110期:友谊
I've kept up a friendship with a girl whom I was at school with twenty years ago.
译文:
我一直与20年前和我同校的一个女孩保持着友谊。
点睛:
该句中whom引导的是以girl为先行词的定语从句,其中whom作该从句中with的宾语,twenty years ago为时间状语。短语keep up with sb.意为“保持与某人的联系”,本句中的keep up a friendship with sb.意为“和某人保持友谊”。
考点归纳:
与动词keep相关的常见短语还有:
*keep back隐瞒(某事)

*keep(oneself) from doing sth.克制(自己)不做某事

*keep的遵循,遵守(计划、时刻表等)
