   生活中有些非常熟悉的词,到了美国却发现意思不对!书本上是一个意思,用起来却是另一个意思,Jenny和Adam就要来聊聊那些熟悉又陌生的英语词。


  多义词怎么理解?
  其实任何语言都存在多义词,理解的关键就是:
  In context 1: 语境、上下文
  还有一条,就是要能理解:
  Set phrases: 固定短语
  #1.Call: 打电话?
  Call: 决定
  Make your call: 不是叫你打电话,是要你做决定。
  怎么用:
  It's your call: 你的决定,你的责任
  Good call: 好决定!
  如果不是十分正式,工作场合也可以用。
  #2.Sleep:睡觉?
  Sleep on it 不是叫你睡在上面,是指我要想一想。
  怎么用:
  A: You need make a decision.
  B: Let me sleep on it.
  #3.Company: 公司?
  In good company 不是说在一家好公司,而是指氛围好,团队好。
  怎么用:
  He/she's good company: 他/她是个好伴侣(不定是感情的伴侣)
  Keep someone company: 陪伴某人
  Two's company, three's a crowd: 两个人正好,三个人太挤
  在中国学的单词 在美国意思完全不一样
  #4."Say when": 问时间?
  Say when 不是问你时间,而是叫你喊停。
  怎么用:
  A: Say when. 够了就告诉我。
  B: Ok, that's good. 够了,够了。
  #5.Buying: 买东西?
  Buying it 不是说我要买这个,而是相信。
  怎么用:
  I'm not buying it: 我才不信呢。
  I don't buy it: 我不相信。
  Do you buy it?: 你相信吗?
  #6.Lost: 迷路?
  Lost不是说你迷路了,而是指失控了。
  怎么用:
  I lost it: 我失控了。
  I totally lost: 我完全失控了。
  I lost it on someone: 我对某人发脾气了。
