2010高考常用短语精解   1.to get on : (to enter, board)  【说明:】to get on(搭乘,上车) 动词get的用法很多,常常在后面接用各种不同的介系词或副词而形成意义不同的习语。这里的on是介系词,后面的bus和subway用作它的受词。如果on作副词用,则有进步,相处甚好,与年事已长的意思。    【例:】  (1) I always get on the bus at 34th Street.  我总是在34街搭乘公共汽车。    (2) William gets on the subway at the same station every morning.  威廉每天早晨在同一车站搭乘地下火车。  2.to get off : (to leave, descend from)  【说明:】to get off (下车)与上面的get on相反。Get off也有好些其它的意义,如寄出,离开等。下车也可以用alight from或get out of a carriage或motor car, 不过下电车或公共汽车多用get off .    【例:】  (1) Helen got off the bus at 42nd Street.  海伦在42街下公共汽车。    (2) At what station do you usually get off the subway?  你通常在那一站下地下火车?  3.to put on: (to place on oneself-said particularly of clothes)  【说明:】  to put on (穿,戴)特别指穿衣服、穿鞋、戴帽、戴眼镜也用这个成语。英文中还有wear和dress二字也是穿的意思。可是wear是继续的动作,表示穿着的状态,而put on是一时的动作。下面两个句子都是错的:  I shall wear my overcoat before I go out (应用put on). In such cold weather I put on my overcoat all day (应用wear).dress的意思是  ①put clothes on后面的受词一定是人,如dress a child, dress oneself, be dressed in white,  ②put on clothes, vk Get up and dress quickly. (快点起来穿好衣服。)  【例:】  (1) Mary put on her hat and left the room.  玛丽戴上她的帽子就离开这屋子。  (2) Why is John putting on his hat and coat?  约翰为什么穿衣戴帽呢?  4.to take off : (to remove-said also of clothes)  【说明:】to take off (脱去)与put on 的意义相反,指脱去衣物鞋帽.民可以用put off, 但较不通用。 【例:】  (1) John took off his hat as he entered the room.  约翰在这屋时脱下他的帽子。  (2) Is Helen taking off her coat because it is too warm in the room?  海伦是不是因为室内太暖和而脱去她的外衣呢?  5.to call up: (to telephone)  【说明:】to call up (打电话给……)后面一定要有受词,也就是接电话的人。如果受词是代名词的话,常插在call与up 之间。  【例:】  (1) I forgot to call up Mr. Jones yesterday although I promised to call him up exactly at three o’clock.  我昨天忘记打电话给钟斯先生,虽然我答应了在三点钟的时候打电话给他的。    (2) Did anyone call me up while I was out?  我出去的时候有人打电话来找我吗?6.to turn on : (to start, begin)  【说明:】to turn on (扭开,打开)指扭开电灯,电炉,电扇,煤气等的按钮或开关,以及自来水的水龙头等而言。开电灯也可以用put on the light.  【例:】  (1) Please turn on the light.
