■ do it 与 do so两者都是用来代替前面提到过的一个行动。用法上的区别:do it 是有意识的行动;do so 则可以是无意识的行为。 - —A: When you chop off a chicken's head and it's already dead, it still kicks a few times.
- —B: Why does it do so?
- —A:你把一只鸡的头砍掉,它就已经死了,但它还踢几下脚。
- —B:它为什么这样?(鸡已经死了,不可能有有意识的行为,所以不用 do it而用 do so。)
- The old man fell on his way to church. I'm sorry to hear that he did so(或 did that)老人再去教堂的路上摔倒了。我听到他摔倒心里很难过。
但是在实际语言中,无意识的行动也有用 do it 的。 - Of course I am going to misspeak, and I've done it on numerous occasions, and I probably will do it in the future. (John McCain, Republican Senator, Interview on CBS, The Washington Post, April 7, 2007)当然,我会说错话的,我曾经多次说错话,今后大概也会说错话。
