LECTURE 9 基本动词 COME 1

词组讲解

1. come about ***发生

解 短语动词;词义溯源:[在周边(about)]出现、发生

例 It's best we let the changes come about naturally. If they occur without any outside influence, they are much more likely to be lasting. So rather than forcing their government to change by threatening sanctions, we ought to be patient. Eventually they will bring about the changes themselves out of necessity.

2. come 〔run〕 across sb. or sth. ***偶然碰见

解 短语动词;词义溯源:[穿过(across)]某人或某物来到

Industry analysts point to a series of costly mistakes as signs that the giant is losing control over its operations just as smaller upstart companies are beginning to challenge for market share.

4. come away empty-handed **空手而归

解 习语;词义溯源:[空手(empty-handed)][分离(away)] 而来;参照go away empty-handed

例 Irefuse to come away empty-handed!If I go back to my office with nothing from this four-day trip, my boss will fire me!I'm going back in that negotiation room and I'm not coming out until I have something tangible to bring back .

5. come between sb. and sb. else ***阻碍;分开;在…之间

解 短语动词;词义溯源:来到[中间(between)]
