第一、固定搭配短语
1. as soon as possible:尽快地
讲解:as soon as归属于连词性短语,意思是“一.....就......”,起到连词的作用,其后面加上possible这个形容词时,意思就是“尽可能快地”。
例句:I asked her to get in touch with Henry as soon as possible.
我要求她尽快与亨利联系。
2. fill with
讲解:fill是动词,with是介词,这两个词后都接something,即:fill something with something,意思是“使......充满......”。
例句:He filled (in/up) the hole with small stones.
他用小石块把洞填满了。
He filled the glass with water.
他把杯子装满了水。
3. take one’s eyes off sb
讲解:take在这里的意思是“把”,off是“离开”的意思,take one’s eyes off sb意“把某人的视线从某人身上转移开”。它通常与could not连用,表示“目不转睛地盯着某人”。
例句:Robert couldn't take his eyes off Brenda: it was love at first sight.
罗伯特一直盯着布伦达看:那是一见钟情。
David could not take his eyes off her. Jenny saw this and was delighted.
大卫简直目不转睛也看着她,詹尼见了心里乐滋滋的。
He couldn' t take his eyes off the beautiful newcomer.
他目不转睛地盯着那位新来的美人。
4. in one’s life
讲解:这个短语表示时间,意思是“在某人的一生中”,这个“一生”指2个意思。一个是指“从生下来到目前为止”,翻译为:有生以来。另一个是指“从生下来到死亡”。
例句:He looked upon her trip to Paris as a turning point in his life.
他认为巴黎之行是她一生中一个转折点。
He had never been so well off in his life.
他有生以来从来没有这么富裕过。
5. would rather
讲解:rather后面接动词,使用其原形。如果表示否定意义,在rather的后面加上not,后面在接动词原形。与之相关的一个短语是:would rather...than...,它的意思是宁愿......而不愿......,宁可......而不愿......,使用时,than的后面接动词原形。
例句:I would rather wait till tomorrow.
我宁愿等到明天。
I would rather kill the animal outright than leave it to suffer.
我宁愿立刻杀死这个动物而不愿让它遭罪。
