| 词组 | eat |
| 释义 | 1．eat 用作“进餐”解在英国现在不流行，但在美国很流行，如 We eat at noon 和 Does he eat in his sitting-room? 2．They used to eat heartily of what they liked best 里用 of 表示“吃……的一部分”。 3．对人说Eat more marmalade 当然不错，但不及说Have more marmalade 普通。 4．eat his（或 your 等）words 一般译作“食言”，其实是“声明取消前言”，跟“食言”不同。如假定某人在上星期说将在今天给你什么东西，结果今天并不给你，那是“食言”，但不是 eat his words，必须他声明不给你了，才是 eat his words。又如假定某人说你坏话，你叫他声明他所说的不对，那便是叫他 eat his words，却并不是叫他“食言”，可以说 When he was confronted with such clear evidence, Henry was forced to eat his words in public。 |
