我知道我该容身何处[/scode]
拓展:

在这里给大家拓展一个高中让我们很头疼 的“lie(撒谎) lie(躺) lay(放置;下蛋)”三者的区分以及过去时和过去分词的表达:(我不是故意的hhh)

先来看:

lie(撒谎)

它的过去时和过去分词都是:lied

(我是这样记的,因为我们撒谎都是要按一定的套路出牌,基本上每个人撒的谎换来换去就那几个 所以它的过去时和过去分词都是一样的)

举个栗子:

She lied to her husband so she could meet her lover.

她对丈夫撒了谎,好与情人幽会。

接着我们来看

lie (躺;平卧)

它的过去时和过去分词是 lay lain

(这个比较容易混,因为这三个词都不一样。我是这样记的:躺嘛,到处到可以躺着,可以躺床上,躺沙发,你喜欢躺马路,躺地上都可以。所以这仨的形式各有特色~)

举个栗子:

He lay awake watching her for a long time.

他睁着眼躺在那里看她看了很长时间。

(这里用的表达是“lay down”,在麦克米伦词典中的解释是:lay down---- a way of saying ‘lie down’ that many people think is incorrect)

最后我们来看

lay (放置;下蛋)

它的过去时和过去分词都是:laid

(这个也挺好记的,比如我们平时会把我们的物品放在一个固定的地方;母鸡下蛋也是固定在草窝里下蛋,所以所以它的过去时和过去分词都是一样的啦)

举个栗子:

My canary has laid an egg.

我的金丝雀生了一个蛋。

[scode type="green"]Would've trade it all for you, there for you

我愿为你交出一切 始终陪着你[/scode]

拓展:

“trade”作为动词,它常见的搭配是“trade A for B【If someone trades one thing for another or if two people trade things, they agree to exchange one thing for the other thing.】

举个栗子:

They traded land for goods and money.

他们用土地换取了货物与金钱。

这里再补充“trade”的一个熟词生义:作为动词它还可以表示:互相做;对打;对骂【If two people or groups trade something such as blows, insults, or jokes, they hit each other, insult each other, or tell each other jokes.】

例如:

Children would settle disputes by trading punches or insults in the schoolyard.

儿童会通过在操场上对打或互骂的方式解决争端。

[scode type="green"]Now if I keep my eyes closed he looks just like you

若我始终将双眼紧闭 那他看起来也与你无异[/scode]
拓展:

“close”其实是一个很复杂的小词,在这里我想举例一些常见的用法:

拓展一个固定表达:

close the gap/chasm ”可以表示“缩小差距”:

拓展两个熟词生义:

作为名词可以表示:(用于英国的一些街名中)巷,小街

【Close is used in the names of some streets in Britain.】

比如:

116 Dendridge Close

登德里奇巷116号

作为形容词可以表示:(竞争或选举)势均力敌的,难分高下的【A close competition or election is won or seems likely to be won by only a small amount.】

例如:

It's going to be very close.

结果会不相上下。

拓展一个固定搭配:

a close shave 勉强脱险;幸免于难【If you describe an event as a close shave, a close thing, or a close call, you mean that an accident or a disaster very nearly happened.】

例如:

You had a close shave , but you knew when you accepted this job that there would be risks.

你这次侥幸脱险,不过在接受这项工作的时候,你就知道会有一些危险。

[scode type="green"]But you've been replaced

但你终究已被代替[/scode]
拓展:

supersede, 作为动词,可以表示“取代,替代(陈旧或令人不满意的事物)【If something is superseded by something newer, it is replaced because it has become old-fashioned or unacceptable.】

例如:

Hand tools are relics of the past that have now been superseded by the machine.

手工工具是历史的遗物,现在已经被机器所取代。

除此之外,“supplant”也有类似意思,【If a person or thing is supplanted, another person or thing takes their place.】

例如:

He may be supplanted by a younger man.

他可能会被一个年龄比他小的人取代。
