More Two-word Verbs 又一些成语动词


A: I hadn't finished telling you about two-word verbs, Bob.

B: Do I have to hear more? I'm not sure I can follow it.

A: Sure you can. This part is the most interesting.

B: Okay. Go ahead.

A: Well, here are sentences with two-word verbs with objects:

I can't get over

I can't get it over

I can't get over it

I can't get him over it

They all mean different things

B: Can you explain how they're different?

A: Each part or both parts of the two-word verb can have an object. The verb may have different meanings with different objects, or different arrangements of object. Is that clear? You look confused.

B: I'm not confused, I was just thinking.


Notes

Follow-understand

Get over 越过(如篱笆)

Get it over 解释,讲清楚

Get over it (惊吓、疾病)恢复过来

Get him over it 使他忘却(遗憾、悲伤)


A
:鲍勃,关于成语动词,我还没有对你讲完。

B:我还需要听你讲吗?我不知道是否能理解。

A:你当然能理解。这一部分是最有意思的。

B:好,说吧。

A:嗯,下列这些句子里的成语动词有宾语:

I can't get over

I can't get it over

I can't get over it

I can't get him over it

这些句子的意思都不相同。

B:你能否解释一下怎么不同?

A:成语动词的每个部分或两个部分可以有一个宾语。动词加上不同的宾语或宾语的不同组合,就可以有不同的含意。清楚了吗?你好像弄糊涂了。

B:我没有糊涂。我只是在思考。
