【地道表达法】just about有几种含义?
Bear in mind that we must guard against overeating.记住,我们一定要警惕暴饮暴食。 ☞ guard against 表示“避免,预防”,guard against 后面加名词或动词的-ing形式。类似意思的表达法还有“be alert to something/ prevent from doing something”。上面的例句我们也可以改写为:Bear in mind that we must be alert to overeating.记住,我们一定要警惕暴饮暴食。☞ bear something in mind 则表示“记住某事/把某事记在心上”。例句中的从句相对于主句过长,这时把“bear in mind that...”放在句首,后面引导从句,可以避免从句过长导致“头重脚轻”的不和谐现象。 Each of us read the book in turn .我们每个人轮流读书。 ☞ in turn 表示“轮流,依次”,近义词有“in proper order / in sequence”: You are required to complete the tasks in sequence.你需要按顺序完成任务。☞ turn的意思很多,除了例句中“轮;顺序”的意思之外,还可以表示“转弯”。表示“转弯”时,既可以做名词,也可以做动词。 做名词时的用法:Take a left turn at the next corssroad.下一个路口左转。做动词时的用法:Turn left at the next corssroad.下一个路口左转。 Please don't walk so fast. I can't keep pace with you.请不要走的这么快。我跟不上你。 ☞ keep pace with 表示“并驾齐驱,保持同步”。和其意思相近的词组还有“catch up with(赶上)”,反义词组则是“fall behind(掉队)”。 ☞ 除了字面的意思之外,我们还能得到keep pace with引申意:跟上某人的(思想、学习进度、工作等)。She did not bother to keep up with the news.她不想及时了解新闻。 这里的keep up 就是“紧跟时代,了解实事”的意思。 ☞“ 与时俱进“我们就可以说: keep up with (the) times advance with (the) times This project is just about done.该项目即将完成。 ☞ just about 表示“几乎,差不多”,同“almost”。主要有两层意思 1.
