昨天眼看着上海的阳光渐渐被乌云遮住,为了躲开讨厌的下雨天我干脆飞来了北京...带了很多的衣服,原以为北京会冷很多,but it turned out quite comfy!!(结果天气却很宜人!)
今天就讲讲turn这个小词。由于turn在口语当中用法比较多,我把它分为Part A&B,这样讲起来会比较清楚。Alright~首先刚才我用了一个turn out,意思是"结果是...",往往这个结果比预期的要不同。比如我们可以说I thought the book was dry, but it turned out a lot fun!(我原以为这本书很枯燥,但结果却很有趣!)有的同学刚毕业开始工作可能不适应,但是我会安慰他们说"Don't worry. The rookie may turn out to be the MVP in the team!"(别灰心,菜鸟很可能成为最佳队员哦!)当然turn out在口语里面还有一个很常用的意思,就是get out of bed(起床),例如I turned out early today because I have a con-call this morning.(我今天起得很早,因为有个电话会议)
讲了turn out,自然要讲一下turn in.turn in在口语里面常用的意思主要有三个。第一是"to hand in" or "to give over"(上交),比如turn in the homework(上交作业)。第二个常用的意思是"告发",比如Mr.Anderson got killed last night. And the murderer turned himself in the next morning.(Anderson昨天晚上被杀了,杀人犯第二天早上自己去自首了。)<~~~~为什么我会想到这个例子~~~~>第三个意思大家也应该能猜到,就是go to bed. I've been turning in late these days.(我最近一直很晚才睡)
上次讲check out的时候提到"看美女",知道"回头率很高"怎么说嘛?嘿嘿,turn heads~ She looks gorgeous and really turns heads when walking on the street.(她很美,走在马路上回头率很高)head可以turn,table也同样可以turn哦~turn the tables,意思是"扭转局面"。There's only 10 seconds to go. The Lakers has a slim chance to turn the tables.(还剩十秒,湖人队看来很难扭转局面了)对了,钥匙开门的那个动作"扭"也是用turn哦!turn the key.
