上次为大家整理了越简单越实用:一字多义的万用”GET,今天要帮大家整理的是聊天写作也都好好用的make。
能够灵活运用get跟make,相信你的英语会话能力就不成问题啦!
要了解Make这个字,指要抓住一个基本原则:Make=cause it to exist. (让某件事发生、存在。)
接下来教大家四个最基本的用法:
1. Create the character of a person or success. 影响人的性格跟成功与否。
你可以这样使用:
“I made you. Without me, you wouldn’t have succeeded.” (是我成就了你,没有我你不可能成功。)
没有我的帮忙,你的成就不可能存在,所以还是紧扣着make的最基本原则:cause something to exist.
2. When the completion or success of something makes you happy or brings you pain.
某一件事让你开心或者痛苦。
这件事会让你产生快乐或痛苦,就可以用make,也是遵守着基本原则。
但这个用法,百分之七十都是讲某件事让你很快乐,例如:Her visit quite made my day. (她的来访令我很高兴。)
指有少数的机会,是指痛苦的事,例如:Someone invited my ex-wife to the party with my new girlfriend. That really made my day. (有人邀请我的前妻去派对,更尴尬的是我新女友也在场,真是太煎熬了。)
3. To come/ arrive 去、抵达
一样也是遵守基本原则,你还没到达,表示你不存在于那个现场。
因此,你可以这样用:
I can’t make it. (我赶不上。)
The team made it to the quarter finals . 这个队进入了四分之一决赛。
4. Kiss for a long time/ how did you do/ to hear or see
热吻/ 询问结果/ 听或看
最后要教一个片语:make out。
这个片语有三个意思,分别是:Kiss for a long time/ how did you do/ to hear or see with difficulty
首先,要表达热吻,你可以这样说:
I saw John making out with his girlfriend in the park. (我看到John在公园和女友亲热。)
第二个,询问结果,你可以这样用:
You said you had an interview yesterday. How did it make out? (你说你昨天有场面试,结果如何啊?)
第三个,表示听不清楚或看不清楚,这样用也通:
It’s dark outside. I can barely make out what’s going on out there. (外面太黑了,我看不清楚外面发生了什么事。)
