earth , bring down to ~: come down to ~— 276 这两个短语动词不容混淆: bring down to earth 作“使之清醒”讲,是不自觉的; come down to earth 则是“清醒过来”的意思,是自觉的(参见词条 P.277 )。 例如: Losing a child like that brought them down to earth. 丢失了那样一个小孩之后,一定会促使他们幡然清醒。 The lovers are living in a kind of dream world ; but one day they'll come down to earth. 这对情人正生活在梦境之中, 但总有一天会清醒过来。
