【情景再现】
Catherine所在的公司每周一召开例会。这天又是星期一,刚午休完毕,大家还没缓过劲儿来,只见美国老总突然急匆匆走过来,气喘吁吁地说:Round everybody 1 up, we must hold a meeting 2 right now.
Round everybody up. 大家集合。
round在这里是动词,当和副词up连用时,表示“使人或物聚拢来,使某人[某物]集合在一起”,所以round sb./sth. up意思就是“使人或物集合起来”。例如:The guide 3 rounded up the tourists 4 and led 5 them back to the coach 6. 导游把游客集合在一起,领他们回到车上。
