control , get under ~: keep under ~— 209 这两个短语动词并非同义: get under control 作“刹住”讲,而 keep under control 则是“控制住”的意思,多少含有“忽使扩大”的意思。 例如: The fire-brigade arrived within minutes of the alarm andquickly got the conflagration under control. 消防队在发出警报后几分钟内就赶到,很快就把火势刹住了。 The threatened epidemic of smallpox was kept under controlby the authorities'vigorous action. 具有威胁性的天花流行病已被当局有力的措施控制住了。
