释义 |
hand , lay a ~ on : lay one's ~ on — 448 这两个短语动词远非同义: lay a hand on 是作“动手打人”讲,多半用于条件和否定两种结构(参见词条 P.447 ),而 lay one's hand on 则是“垂手可得”的意思,与 put one's hand on 同义。 例如: If you lay a hand on my child, I'll summon you forassault. 要是你碰一碰我的孩子,我就告你打人。 But he daren't lay a hand on my child. 可他不敢碰我的孩子。 I know I have put his letter somewhere, but I cannot lay my band on it at the moment. 我知道我曾把他的信放在一个地方,可此刻却找不到了。
