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。 |
