Don’t be so sure! 别那么确定!
Don’t so sure! 不符合语法要求。
do not 否定动词(表达命令、建议、警告或规劝等) | No 否定名词(禁止、制止或否定某个特定的事物或概念,强调的是名词本身) |
---|---|
| |
|
|
因为do not 是对动词的否定,而这里接的so 是一个形容词。所以这里增加be动词补位。
Where are you going to spend your holidays this year?
spend 花费、度过、度假 | have (万能词) |
---|---|
spend your holidays\vacation | have your holidays\vacation |
I'd like to go there, too. = I would like to go there, too.
这里不是had的缩写,而是would的缩写。
We can’t make up our minds.
mind n. 心,智慧,头脑,决心
make up one’s mind 下定决心 | make up one's mind(s) to do something (mind + s 多个人下定决心) |
---|---|
I made up my mind to study English well. | We made up our minds to study English well. |
你们要乘船去还是坐飞机去?
Will you by sea or by air? 句子缺少实义动词(will这里是一个助动词)
Will you go / travel by sea or by air? (人为加动词go形成一个将来时)by air 、by sea是一个介词短语,这里不能当成动词来使用。
Are you going by sea or by air? "going" 是动词,表示行动或移动。而"by sea"和"by air" 是介词短语,用于说明行动的方式或方式选择。所以后面不应该使用 going to 而直接使用going 即可。
But it takes a long time.
take v.花费(时间、钱) | cost v.花费,值(钱) |
---|---|
|
|
万能词 take 当成“花费”的意思时主语可以是人也可以是物。
We may not go anywhere. | We may go nowhere. |
---|---|
我们可能哪也去不成。(相似句可替换使用) | |
My wife always worries this and that. | My wife always worries too much. |
最后 in the end
- in the future 在将来
- in the meantime 与此同时
- in the way 挡道的,妨碍的(指某人或某物阻碍了别人的行动或进程)
look after everything 照顾一切
look after sb. 照顾某人(负责照料或照顾某人的生活、健康或安全)
- look after children 照顾孩子
- look after yourself 照顾好自己
- look after a patient 照顾病人
