情景对话:
Caroline: Max, you just got a box delivered at home.
Max: I don't want that. It's a delivery from my mother. The last thing she delivered was me, and I'm still cleaning up that mess.
知识点讲解:
Deliver
v. 送货
【例句】
The package will be delivered to the office at 10 AM.
包裹会在上午10点被送到办公室。
*Deliver 还可以指送餐,
比如国外有些餐馆外面会写:
We deliver. 意思就是”我们送餐“。
Delivery
n. 送货,送餐
它是deliver的名词形式,
”外卖“我们可以用takeout表示,
同样也可以说 delivery 哟~
【例句】
I don't feel like cooking tonight. Do you just want to get some delivery?
我今晚不想做饭,要不咱们店点外卖吧?
剧中Max用了deliver双关:
The last thing she delivered was me.
这里的delivered表示生孩子
Deliver
v. 生孩子
【例句一】
It took my wife 30 hours to deliver the baby.
我老婆用了30个小时才生下孩子。
【例句二】
The doctor deliver the baby at 2 pm.
医生在两点钟把孩子接生出来了。
