短語動詞是英語的重要組成部分,正是因為它,英語才變得豐富多彩。不要把短語動詞和動詞短語混淆,動詞短語是有動詞組成的短語,它的意思和原來的動詞差不多,而短語動詞是由短語組成的動詞,它的意思往往和原來的動詞相差甚遠(yuǎn)。
因此,學(xué)好短語動詞尤為重要。在這個播客中,我分享短語動詞及其用法。
In English, a?phrasal verb?is a phrase that indicates an action—such as?turn down?or?ran into. The term applies to two or three distinct but related constructions: a?verb?and a?particle?and/or a?preposition?together form a single semantic unit. This semantic unit cannot be understood based upon the meanings of the individual parts, but must be taken as a whole. In other words, the meaning is non-compositional?and thus unpredictable.
