短语动词是英语的重要组成部分,正是因为它,英语才变得丰富多彩。不要把短语动词和动词短语混淆,动词短语是有动词组成的短语,它的意思和原来的动词差不多,而短语动词是由短语组成的动词,它的意思往往和原来的动词相差甚远。 因此,学好短语动词尤为重要。在这个播客中,我分享短语动词及其用法。 In English, a phrasal verb is a phrase that indicates an action—such as turn down or ran into. The term applies to two or three distinct but related constructions: a verb and a particle and/or a preposition together form a single semantic unit. This semantic unit cannot be understood based upon the meanings of the individual parts, but must be taken as a whole. In other words, the meaning is non-compositional and thus unpredictable.
