1.to get on : (to enter, board)
【說明:】to get on(搭乘,上車) 動詞get的用法很多,常常在后面接用各種不同的介系詞或副詞而形成意義不同的習語。這里的on是介系詞,后面的bus和subway用作它的受詞。如果on作副詞用,則有進步,相處甚好,與年事已長的意思。
【例:】
(1) I always get on the bus at 34th Street.
我總是在34街搭乘公共汽車。
(2) William gets on the subway at the same station every morning.
威廉每天早晨在同一車站搭乘地下火車。
2.to get off : (to leave, descend from)
說明:】to get off (下車)與上面的get on相反。Get off也有好些其它的意義,如寄出,離開等。下車也可以用alight from或get out of a carriage或motor car, 不過下電車或公共汽車多用get off .
【例:】
(1) Helen got off the bus at 42nd Street.
海倫在42街下公共汽車。
(2) At what station do you usually get off the subway?
你通常在那一站下地下火車?
3.to put on: (to place on oneself-said particularly of clothes)
【說明:】
to put on (穿,戴)特別指穿衣服、穿鞋、戴帽、戴眼鏡也用這個成語。英文中還有wear和dress二字也是穿的意思??墒莣ear是繼續(xù)的動作,表示穿著的狀態(tài),而put on是一時的動作。下面兩個句子都是錯的:
I shall wear my overcoat before I go out (應用put on). In such cold weather I put on my overcoat all day (應用wear).dress的意思是
①put clothes on后面的受詞一定是人,如dress a child, dress oneself, be dressed in white,
②put on clothes, vk Get up and dress quickly. (快點起來穿好衣服。)
【例:】
(1) Mary put on her hat and left the room.
瑪麗戴上她的帽子就離開這屋子。
(2) Why is John putting on his hat and coat?
約翰為什么穿衣戴帽呢?
