保證沒走錯 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:
在一家電影院里，一名觀眾在演出期間站了起來，沿著他那排位子走到休息室去了。幾分鐘后，他回到那排位子并問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?
對不起，請問我剛才出去的時候是踩著你的腳嗎？
Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all.
是的，不過沒什么關系，一點也不疼。
Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row.
噢，不，我不是這個意思。我只是想確認一下這是不是我的那排位子。

1.get up
get up有起床，起立等很多意思，在這里說一個問題：
get up是一個瞬間動詞，也就是說它只是一個很短暫的動作。
如果我們要表達說他已經(jīng)起床半小時了，怎么說呢？
He has gotten up for half an hour.（錯誤）
He has been up for half an hour.（正確）
be up就是get up的延續(xù)體，也就是說be up是一個延續(xù)性動詞。
接下來介紹幾種由非延續(xù)性動詞到延續(xù)性動詞的轉換：
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…是一個英語中較常用的詞組,意思是“動身(到某處)去;前進,向前;行進”。
Eg:Dickens made his way to the woods.迪肯斯朝樹林走去。

3.make sure
make sure是確認的意思，這點毫無疑問。介紹兩個搭配：
make sure to do
make sure sb do sth
