PHRASAL VERBS! 4 Helpful Hints & 10 Useful Phrasal Verbs

Hang on!

等一下！

OK!

好了！

Let's talk about phrasal verbs!

这次让我们来聊一下动词短语！

Hello and welcome to my introduction to phrasal verbs

你好，欢迎来到动词短语小课堂

So you've got a verb and a preposition

动词短语是由你能认识的

that you recognise

一个动词和一个介词构成的

but together they mean something different.

但是这两个词放在一起就会有不同的意思

I'm going to explain how phrasal verbs are formed

我打算解释一下动词短语是怎么组成的

the different types of phrasal verbs

动词短语的不同类型

and how they are used

以及它们该怎么用

and then I'll give you explanations of ten of the most common ones.

然后呢，我会给出10个最常见的动词短语

So, how do we form a phrasal verb?

那么，动词短语是怎么组成的呢？

Well, as I said before,

就像我上面说的那样

we add a preposition to a verb

我们在动词后面加上一个介词

for example: 'look', which is out verb

比如look这个动词可以和out搭配

and then a preposition could be 'out'

然后在后面加上out

I look out of the window

我看向窗外

However, if I were to say

但是，假如我换个说法

'look out, there's a car'

小心，车来了

the meaning has changed, because we've changed

因为短语使用的情况和语境变化了

the situation and the context.

所以短语的意思也就变了

So in this case it would mean

因此，在这个例句中

'Be careful, there's a car!'

look out的意思是“小心，有车来了”

So I'm going to guide you

接下来

through four important hints

我会教你四个重要的技巧

that will help you use phrasal verbs

来帮助你更高效更准确地

more efficiently and more effectively.

使用动词短语

It could also help your reading and listening skills

这同样能够帮助提升你的阅读和听力技巧

The first hint is that you can't always

第一个技巧就是：

understand phrasal verbs by looking at the individual words

你不应该总是单独地看短语中的两个词

A good example of this is 'turn on'.

举一个典型的例子：turn on

'Turn', on it's own, means to rotate

turn原本的意思是倒转

But together with 'on'

但是，和on组成短语后

it means to activate function.

它的意思就变成了激活某种功能

I turn on the television.

例如，我打开了电视

Something completely different.

单个词语和短语的意思完全不同了

That's why in your reading and listening exams

所以，在阅读和听力测试中

You mustn't listen word by word

你一定不能孤立地去听每个单词

You have to try and understand the phrase as a whole.

你应该尝试去把短语作为一个整体来理解

So now on to hint two.

然后是第二个技巧

One phrasal verb can have multiple meanings.

同一个动词短语可能有不同的意思

We've got the same phrasal verb, 'take off'

我们首先来看一下

here in two different situations

在两个不同语境下的take off

'Take off your jacket' means 'remove your jacket'

take off your jacket意思是脱下你的夹克

'The plane takes off soon' means 'the plane leaves soon'.

the plane takes off soon意思是飞机快要起飞了

So, how can you know which of the meanings are being intended?

那么，怎么才能知道词组到底是哪一个意思呢？

Well, the main way to do this is to look at the conext

最主要的方法就是

and the situation around the phrasal verb.

看这个短语所处的上下文和语境

So, here we've got a jacket

在这个句子中有一个夹克

well I know jacket is clothing,

我知道夹克是一种衣服

so it's probable that it's going to mean remove

因此，这个短语的意思很可能是脱下

I can see 'plane' here

这个短语中有个单词“飞机”

it's probably going to be about something

这个短语的意思就可能是

going into the air.

某个东西飞入天空

So now for hint number three.

接下来是第三个技巧

Some phrasal verbs are separable

有些动词短语是分开的

With the phrasal verb 'to put on'

看这个短语“put on”

which means to start wearing something

它的意思是开始穿某件衣服

we can use it in two ways.

这个短语的用法有两种

I can say 'I put on my dress'

我可以说“I put on my dress”

and I can also say 'I put my dress on'

同样，我也可以说“I put my dress on”

This object here can go between the verb and the preposition.

这里的宾语可以放在动词和介词之间

The meaning doesn't change.

而句子的意思不会改变

You must learn which phrasal verbs are separable

你必须要知道哪些短语是可以分开使用的

and which aren't

哪些短语是不可以分开使用的

The example before with 'takes off'

之前例子中的“take off”

this cannot be separated.

就是不能分开使用的

And finally, number four.

最后，第四个技巧

Sometimes you can make a normal verb

有时候，你可以让一个普通的动词

Sound more conversational or even childish

听起来更加得口语化或者儿童化

if you add a preposition.

如果你增加一个介词

For example: 'eat your dinner'

比如，“eat your dinner”

'eat up your dinner'

“eat up your dinner”

I would be more inclined to say 'eat up your dinner'

相比之下

to a child.

我更愿意对一个孩子说“eat up your dinner”

The same goes for 'sit at the table'

同样道理也适用于“sit at the table”

and 'sit down at the table!'

和“sit down at the table”

The meaning doesn't change, it's just more conversational or childish.

两个句子的意思没有多少不同，但是后者更加的口语化和儿童化

OK, now we've explained how they're used

那么，我们已经解释完了这一类短语的使用方法
