LECTURE 163 基本动词TAKE 12

词组讲解

1. take sides ** (在争论中)支持其中一方,偏袒

解 习语;词义溯源:选择其中[一面、一方(side)]

例 It's pretty hard to take sides when I think both of them are wrong, but if I had to side with one or the other, I guess I'd stand by Wu Jin. I'm not saying I agree with him, but his argument is at least logical. Jin Hu's is totally ludicrous.

2. take 〔bring, let〕 sb. down a peg or two / take sb. down a notch or two ** 使某人丢面子,杀某人的威风

解 习语;词义溯源:将某人收容在一个或两个[钉、栓、桩、琴栓(peg)或槽口、阶段、等级、箭扣(notch)][之下(down)]

例 Hey Cindy, wait up! Hey, I wasn't able to catch up with you last night after the party, but I wanted to tell you that I thought you did a great job taking Patrick Boelter down a peg or two. You really put him in his place when you pointed out he hadn't earned even one award at the Young Artists Exhibit. Oh, he's so conceited, isn't he?

3. take sb. for sb. or sth. ** 以为,将…误认为

解 习语;词义溯源:把某人误解成某人

例 Do you guys remember the first time we met Mr. Leverly? We all thought he was going to be the most boring history teacher we'd ever had and we took him for a strict disciplinarian. Remember that? Who'd ever thought we'd end up voting for him as Teacher of the Year?

4. take sb. or sth. away / take away sb. or sth. *** 带走,拿走;(饭后)收拾桌子;消除

解 短语动词;词义溯源:把某人或某物带走到[远离(away)]这里的地方

例 It was not what I had ordered. It was some lower quality cut of meat—maybe not even beef. So I asked him to take it away and bring us the T-bone steaks we wanted. He pretended not to understand English. What he didn't know was that my wife has a good command of Thai language. She gave him a piece of her mind and the plates quickly disappeared.

5. take sb. or sth. by storm ** 强夺,完全征服

解 习语;词义溯源:对某人或某物采取[强袭、突袭(storm)]

例 City after city, the Broadway Musical CATS has taken the world by storm. Now in its twelfth year on Broadway, CATS will be performed this year in 23 major cities including Tokyo, Singapore, London and Paris by seven different casts.
