turn , take a ~ at : take a ~ for — 1090 这两个短语动词远非同义: take a turn at 作“完成工作”讲,可以用动名词短语作 at 的宾语(参见词条 P.1091 和 P.1093 ); take a turn for 则是“向……转化”的意思,用作褒义和贬义都可以。 例如: Let's take a turn at mowing the lawn. 让我们把草地上的刈草工作做完吧。 The sick man took a turn for the better. 病人已有起色了。 比较: The sick man took a turn for the better. 病人已有起色了。 The sick man took a turn for the worse. 病人的病情已恶化了。
