| 词组 | life |
| 释义 | 1．political life，cultural life，social life，country life，married life 等表达方式前面没有 the。但 simple life（［不用奢侈品、不需别人服侍的］简朴生活）前面有 the。 2．all his life，all her life 等表达方式有时不指“一生”而指“从出生到现在（或当时）”，比较下面三句： He lived there all his life. He has lived there all his life, but will soon go to live with his son. He had lived there all his life, but would soon go to live with his son. 下面是一个笑话： A. Have you lived here all your life? B. No, not yet. 3．I cannot for the life of me recall his name（我完全想不起他的名字）里的 for the life of me 改作 for my life 也可以，但不普通。注意 Not for the life of me can I recall his name 里用 can I，不用 I can。 4．life's work（终身事业）不及 lifework 普通。 5．比较下面各句： They told us about their life（生活情况）in the interior. Their lives have been full of activity. Their married life（夫妇俩的结婚生活）has been most happy. Their married lives（两个或两个以上的人的结婚生活）have been most happy. （假使指夫妇俩，那末至少有一个人曾经结婚过两次或两次以上。） |
