LECTURE 137 基本动词 PUT 8

词组讲解

1. put one's nose out of joint ** 取代某人,使某人失宠;让某人愤恨

解 〈口〉习语;词义溯源:使某人的[鼻子(nose)]处于[脱臼的(out of joint)]状态

例 I work for the chairman. I guess you could describe my job as a “repairman”. Every time the chairman puts somebody's nose out of joint, I come behind him and fix the situation. I apologize, offer special deals, pay compensation— whatever it takes to overcome the damage done by my boss.

2. put 〔send〕 sb. or sth. to sleep ** 杀死;(通过药物或麻醉)使入睡;使厌倦

解 习语;词义溯源:使处于[睡、停止活动、死亡(sleep)]的状态;委婉语

例 Removing the tooth is simple surgery, but because it would be painful if you were conscious, I'll have to have an anesthesiologist put you to sleep. He'll use ether gas. You'll breathe it in and gradually lose consciousness.

3. put sb. through the wringer ** 使受尽折磨

解 〈口〉习语;词义溯源:使某人[经历(through)][令人心力交瘁的事(wringer)]

例 You'd better get some sleep, your audition is tomorrow and the director is Pierre Blanc. You should know that he has a reputation for putting aspiring actresses through the wringer during auditions. He tests your stamina. He'll also give you the third degree —once again to test your stamina.

4. put sb. to the test ** 使受试验;使接受考验

解 习语;词义溯源:使某人参加[考试(test)]

例 After he's put you to the test, is there any way to tell if you've made a favorable impression ? You know, like a look on his face or something he says. I hate being kept on tenterhooks waiting for a call or letter. I want to know right away.

5. put sb. up to sth. *** 煽动某人做某事;使某人熟悉某事;将某事提请某人决定、处理

解 短语动词;词义溯源:使某人[忙于、决定(up to)]某事

例 Police are speculating that Bolander is not a regular member of the DPI, the South American terrorist group, but rather a homeless man who was put up to the bombing by the group. “We found two hundred US dollars in his pocket,” an investigator disclosed. “That, combined with his homeless status and what he's told us so far leads us to this conclusion. ”
