LECTURE 143 基本动词 RUN 2

词组讲解

1. run around with sb. *** 与某人一起混，与某人结交

解 短语动词；词义溯源：和某人一起［到处（around）］跑

例 Parents must be diligent in finding out exactly who their teenagers are running around with. Children are especially impressionable at this age and subject to peer pressure to a higher degree than at any other time in their lives. If they start associating with a bad group of friends, all that you've taught them can come to naught in a very short time.

2. run away from sb. or sth. / run away *** 逃跑

解 短语动词；词义溯源：从某人或某物处［远远地（away）］逃跑

例 Take for instance the case of Christopher Pearly, a bright 14-year-old who was at the top of his class academically. He had promise, but in the summer before his sophomore year, Christopher began associating with a group of high school dropouts. The day before school was to start, he ran away from home. Two years later he was arrested for posession of drugs and bank robbery.

3. run counter to sth. ** 与…相反，相抵触

解 习语；词义溯源：朝与某物［相反、倒着（counter）］的方向跑；本词组与跑步没有任何关系

例 If Christopher's parents had taken more interest in who he was keeping company with , would he made a mess of his life? Would he have even started into the habits that ran counter to his bright future? I think not.

4. run in the family 〔blood〕 ** 某种特征为一个家族所共有，世代相传

解 习语；词义溯源：［家庭、家族、族系（family）］的内在（血统）

5. run into a stone 〔brick〕 wall ** 碰壁，碰钉子

解 〈口〉习语；词义溯源：碰撞到［大障碍、石壁（stone wall）］

例 Everything was going fine until we started probing the actions of the S-1 Office during the war. There we ran into a brick wall. Though we tried, we got nowhere and ended up going away empty-handed . So the question of who was responsible for the massacre continues to go begging .
