美剧原声:
William: I never understood why they paired some of you off. Seems cruel. 我从来都没搞明白他们怎么把你们一些人配对的。看起来真残酷。
黑衣人William说的这段话中有一个动词短语:
Pair off 配对
例句:The teacher said we needed to pair off for this activity so you want to be my partner? 老师说我们这个活动要配对,所以你想跟我搭档吗?
例句:Everyone paired off and left me alone towards the end of the party. I was just watching a movie by myself. 每个人都有搭档了,到派对快结束的时候我只能一个人。 我就一直一个人看电影。
除了 Pair off 我们生活中还有其他的表达方式:
Find a partner 找一个搭档,配对
例句:The teacher said each person needed to find a partner. 老师说每个人要找到一个搭档。
还可以这样说:
Partner up 找一个搭档,配对
例句:The teacher said we needed to partner up. 老师说每个人要找到一个搭档。
