高中英語作文常用短語

  1.to get on : (to enter, board)

  說明:to get on(搭乘,上車) 動詞get的用法很多,常常在後面接用各種不同的介係詞或副詞而形成意義不同的習語。這裡的on是介係詞,後面的bus和subway用作它的受詞。如果on作副詞用,則有進步,相處甚好,與年事已長的意思。

  例:

  (1) I always get on the bus at 34th Street.

  我總是在34街搭乘公共汽車。

  (2) William gets on the subway at the same station every morning.

  威廉每天早晨在同一車站搭乘地下火車。

  2.to get off : (to leave, descend from)

  說明:to get off (下車)與上面的get on相反。Get off也有好些其它的意義,如寄出,離開等。下車也可以用alight from或get out of a carriage或motor car, 不過下電車或公共汽車多用get off .

  3.to put on: (to place on oneself-said particularly of clothes)

  to put on (穿,戴)特別指穿衣服、穿鞋、戴帽、戴眼鏡也用這個成語。英文中還有wear和dress二字也是穿的意思。可是wear是繼續的動作,表示穿著的狀態,而put on是一時的動作。下面兩個句子都是錯的:

  I shall wear my overcoat before I go out (應用put on). In such cold weather I put on my overcoat all day (應用wear).dress的意思是

  ①put clothes on後面的受詞一定是人,如dress a child, dress oneself, be dressed in white,
