Yeah, well, I doubt that Wes has been hiding out there.好吧,我覺得維斯應(yīng)該不在那兒
hide out:繼續(xù)隱匿; 隱藏起來(lái)
He tried to hide out, but the police tracked him down.
他企圖躲藏起來(lái),但警察終于把他追捕歸案。
The outlaw hid out in the hills for several months.
逃犯在山里隱藏了幾個(gè)月。
He was a couple years ahead of you in school.他是比你大幾屆的學(xué)長(zhǎng)
couple:在非正式語(yǔ)體中可作“一些,幾個(gè)”解,用作單數(shù)名詞,常與of連用。接復(fù)數(shù)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞側(cè)重整體用單數(shù)形式,側(cè)重個(gè)體用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
詞義辨析:couple, pair這兩個(gè)詞都有“一雙”“一對(duì)”的意思。其區(qū)別是:
1.couple指在一起或互有關(guān)系的兩個(gè)人或物,但并不意味是同樣的,且可分可合; pair指由兩個(gè)一樣的東西組成的“一對(duì)”“
一雙”“一副”,缺一不可。例如:
I found a couple of socks in the room but they do not make a pair.我在房間找到兩只襪子,但不是一雙的。
2.couple和pair都可指“夫妻”, pair更強(qiáng)調(diào)“般配”。例如:
Not every couple is a pair.天下夫婦多,珠聯(lián)璧合少。
pair指夫婦時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù),而couple指夫婦時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。
3.pair還可指夫妻之外有密切連帶關(guān)系的人。
ahead of:在 ... 前面; 先于
The young man walked at the head of the parade.
那年輕人走在游行隊(duì)伍最前面。
I think the work can be completed ahead of time.
我認(rèn)為這項(xiàng)工作能提前完成。
