| 释义 |
wood ， in the ～： out of the ～— 1170
in the wood 这个短语作“在木桶中”或“在树林中”讲， out of the wood 这个短语作“脱险”或“摆脱困境”讲，相当于 free from difficulties or trouble 的意思；可见，后者并非前者的反义形式。
例如：
The wine was kept in the wood. 酒在木桶中装着。（ =in the barrel ）
Let's go for a walk in the wood. 让我们到树林里去散散步。（是作“在树林里”讲）
That country wasn't yet out of the wood. 那个国家尚未摆脱困境。（不说… was still in the wood ）
