come upon…碰见
1. The rain is coming down. 雨开始下了。
在美语中,美国人很喜欢用动词片语,尤其是以 get 和 come 开头的片语。因为这类的动词除了表示出动作之外,还说出了方向。像上面这句话同样也可以说成 It's raining. 或是 It's starting to rain. 但表达的意思就不如 come down 来的丰富。
Come down 还有另一个重要的意思,就是“下来楼下”的意思。比如说你去找一个住在五楼的朋友,你在楼下的电话就可以问他:Do you want to come down? 你想不想下来啊?
2. I came up with a good idea to that question. 对那个问题我有一个好主意。
Come up with something 就是说突然想到一个主意或是其它事情,光用 come 表达不出那种“跑出一个想法”的意思,所以要用 come up。常见的有 come up with a solution 和 come up with a new idea。
3. Don't let the stuff come out. 不要让里头的东西跑出来。
比如包饺子,我们说不要让饺子里的馅跑出来,这里的“跑出来”就是用 come out。
Come out 也可以表示“不要待在家,出来走走”的意思。如果你要打电话约别人出来,就可以这样问:Do you wanna come out with me?
Come out 也常用于新书的出版,比如The new magazine just came out. 就是说“新的杂志刚刚出版了”。另外若是讲到数学计算时,美语中也常用come out来表示结果是多少,例如你可以说:The total comes out to be forty-five.
(二)
Come 这个词真是好像一个“百变星君”,和不同的词搭配,用法也千差万别。它和 in,on 还有 off 搭配,又是什么效果
1. This is where the argument comes in. 这是争议的所在。
有时在听美语对话中会有那种“咦,这个词用的真好,可是我就是用不出来”的感觉。 Come in 就是一个很好的例子。
- We need to build more parking decks.
-Ok, this is where the argument comes in.
这里用了一个很棒的片语come in。
Come in 也常指“新官上任”喔! 例如学校新来了一个校长,你就可以说 A new president comes in.
2. Come on! 拜托喔。
Come on 是个几乎每天都会听到的片语,但是不同的语气、不同的场合有不同的意思。例如大热天你看到人家穿了一件毛衣,你就可以说:Come on,
dude. 就是说 “大哥,拜托你喔。” (有点受不了人家的意思) ,或是跟同学约好了五点出门,结果他四点五十九分还没到,你也可以催他:Come on, it's five already.
Come on 也可以表示叫人家过来的意思。例如你开车在路上看到朋友迎面走来,你就可以说:Come on, I'll give you a ride.
3. The ball doesn't come off the net. 这个球挂在网上掉不下来。
美国人很喜欢沙滩排球和草地排球 (拿一个活动的网子,在草地上一挂就玩起来了),这通常也是 party 的一个重要部份。Come off
简而言之就是“把两个原来在一起的东西分开”的意思。例如“油漆剥落”就可以说:The paint comes off gradually.
(三)
最后再看看它和by,to,into搭配所表示的意思。
1. I hope someone comes by and picks us up. 我希望有人经过然后让我们搭便车。
Come by 算是常见的片语,就是“从旁边经过”的意思。
2. We haven't come to a conclusion yet. 我们还没有得出结论。
Come to在这样的句子中常常可以见到,如“得出解答 (come to a solution)”,“得出结论 (come to a conclusion)”。和come up with 不同的是,come to 指的通常是最终的结果,而 come up with 只是想到某个想法而已。
Come to 也常用来表示“到某个地方/遇到……”,例如:You will come to a stop sign if you keep straight. 如果你直走的话, 你就会看到一个 stop sign。
3. This factor doesn't come into play in this case. 这个因素在这儿不起任何作用。
Come into 后面可以加一个名词来表示不同的意思,如例句中所说的 come into play 就是老师上课时喜欢用的片语之一。Come into effect 和 come into play 很相似,所以这句话也可以说成This factor doesn't come into effect in this case.
说实话,这个只能靠平时积累,break up 是摔坏, break off是中断,call up时打电话,call off,好像没这个词组,get up 是起床,get off是起飞,keep up 是保持,keep off,没这个词组吧? hold一般跟on ,表示继续努力,make up吧什么弄在一起,make off没有这词组,look up 查找,turn up ,吧音量调高,turn off ,把什么关掉
