突破英语口语练习：sit down with someone可不是“和某人坐一起”

如果有人对你说Sit down with me，是在邀请你一块儿坐坐吗？
单从字面上理解就不对了，sit down with someone可不是“和某人坐在一起”的意思。正确意思是什么呢？一起看看吧。
 
sit down with someone
没错，sit down with someone不是“和某人坐一起”，而是“和某人讨论”。
例句：
I’ll sit down with her and decide what to do next.
我要和她讨论一下，决定下一步该怎么做。
I will sit down with John tomorrow and see if he will change his mind.
我明天会和约翰谈谈，看看他是否会改变主意。
 
stand for something
stand for something也不是“为什么东西站着”，而是“支持、容忍”的意思。
例句：
The teacher won't stand for any whispering in class.
老师不能容忍课上任何的窃窃私语。
I won't stand for this insolence.
我决不容忍这种傲慢无礼的行为。
 
take someone through something
take someone through something也不能望文生义，它不是“带人穿过某处”的意思，而是“帮助某人理解某事/给某人讲解某事”。
例句：
Could you please take me through the details? I'm quite confused.
你能给我讲一下细节吗？我很懵。
I had to call customer service to take me through the installation process.
我得给客服打电话搞清楚安装流程。
