昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享pick的有趣用法吧。Pick在我們的英語生活當中很常見也很常用,不過在新三和新二當中,pick幾乎都逃不出兩種用法。例如:
Lesson1 A puma at large “…a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her.”
這里的pick便取其基本的意思之一,采摘。
Lesson20 Pioneer pilots The 'Antoinette' floated on the water until Latham was picked up by a ship.
這里是pick up的基本意思之一,“接某人,搭乘”,也可以理解成形象的“拾起”。哈哈!
其實雖然pick可能還有很多其他細分的意思,但是我覺得都離不開“拾,采”等等本質的意思,所以我們接下來要看的就是pick的生動形象有趣的用法。
Don’t pick your nose in front of me!
哈哈!挖鼻孔怎么說?對!就是它了,pick one’s nose!是不是某些熟悉的表情就出現了?因此pick your teeth的意思也就是剔牙齒了!
I’m going to pick (some) flowers.注意,此委婉說法僅限于女性,其實意思是go to the toilet. 是不是驚到了,哈哈!
How exciting to see the renowned the professor in face! So Lucy just kept picking his brains!
想象一下一個人一直在別人腦袋那里采摘……會是什么意思呢?對!意為to ask sb a lot of questions about sth because they know more about the subject than you do,“(不斷)討教提問”。
It was a foolish thing pick a fight with his neighbour. 找茬,挑起戰爭,挑起矛盾。
She used to be picked on in school because she was dark and short, just like an ugly duckling.
于是我們能猜出“pick on sb” means “to find fault with sb and to treat sb unfairly”.找茬,欺負某人。
She didn’t waste time feeling sorry for herself-she just picked herself up and
carried on running.
體會這個場景,我們能知道,這句話肯定是很勵志的,那么pick oneself up也就是stand up again after you have fallen and gather courage for yourself and return to the right course (figurative).
另外,pick up girls還有泡妞的意思哦!搭訕吧!嘻嘻!
