| 释义 |
place ， give ～ to ： take the ～ of — 785
这两个短语动词不容混淆： give place to 作“让位给……”或“为……所继任”讲，而 take the place of 则是“代替”或“取而代之”的意思。
例如：
Please give place to the aged. 请让位给老年人坐。
The sailing boat has given place to steamer. 帆船已为汽艇所代替。
I haven't thought any one who can take his place. 我没有想到谁能代替他的职务。
比较：
In our family wheat has given place to rice. 在我们家里，已不吃小麦，改吃大米了。
In our family rice has taken the place of wheat. 在我们家里已吃大米不吃小麦了。
