第一、固定搭配短語
1. as soon as possible:盡快地
講解:as soon as歸屬于連詞性短語,意思是“一.....就......”,起到連詞的作用,其后面加上possible這個形容詞時,意思就是“盡可能快地”。
例句:I asked her to get in touch with Henry as soon as possible.
我要求她盡快與亨利聯系。
2. fill with
講解:fill是動詞,with是介詞,這兩個詞后都接something,即:fill something with something,意思是“使......充滿......”。
例句:He filled (in/up) the hole with small stones.
他用小石塊把洞填滿了。
He filled the glass with water.
他把杯子裝滿了水。
3. take one’s eyes off sb
講解:take在這里的意思是“把”,off是“離開”的意思,take one’s eyes off sb意“把某人的視線從某人身上轉移開”。它通常與could not連用,表示“目不轉睛地盯著某人”。
例句:Robert couldn't take his eyes off Brenda: it was love at first sight.
羅伯特一直盯著布倫達看:那是一見鐘情。
David could not take his eyes off her. Jenny saw this and was delighted.
大衛簡直目不轉睛也看著她,詹尼見了心里樂滋滋的。
He couldn' t take his eyes off the beautiful newcomer.
他目不轉睛地盯著那位新來的美人。
4. in one’s life
講解:這個短語表示時間,意思是“在某人的一生中”,這個“一生”指2個意思。一個是指“從生下來到目前為止”,翻譯為:有生以來。另一個是指“從生下來到死亡”。
例句:He looked upon her trip to Paris as a turning point in his life.
他認為巴黎之行是她一生中一個轉折點。
He had never been so well off in his life.
他有生以來從來沒有這么富裕過。
5. would rather
講解:rather后面接動詞,使用其原形。如果表示否定意義,在rather的后面加上not,后面在接動詞原形。與之相關的一個短語是:would rather...than...,它的意思是寧愿......而不愿......,寧可......而不愿......,使用時,than的后面接動詞原形。
例句:I would rather wait till tomorrow.
我寧愿等到明天。
I would rather kill the animal outright than leave it to suffer.
我寧愿立刻殺死這個動物而不愿讓它遭罪。
