什么是短语动词?
短语动词是表示动作的短语。它们通常用于英语口语和非正式文本中。这些动词的例子包括:turn down, come across和run into。
动词短语由动词和介词或副词组成:
| 动词 | 介词/副词 |
| get | up |
| go | through |
| write | down |
| take | after |
有时动词短语由三个元素组成:
| 动词 | 介词 / 副词 1 | 介词 / 副词2 |
| look | forward | to |
| put | up | with |
| sit | in | for |
当介词或副词加在动词上时，可以完全改变动词的意思。下面是一些例子
| 短语 | 含义 | 例句 |
| look for | search/seek
寻找 | He is looking for his keys |
| look up to | have a great deal of respect for a person 尊重 | His father is his model. He is the person he looks up to. |
| look forward to | await eagerly/anticipate with pleasure 期盼 | She is looking forward to visiting Paris. |
| look up | to try to find a piece of information by looking in a book or on a computer: 查找 | She didn't understand the word. So she looked it up in her dictionary |
动词短语的含义
有时，很难理解动词短语的意思。在查字典之前，使用上下文来理解它们会很有帮助。
字面含义
有些动词短语有字面意义。它们很容易理解。
She opened the door and looked outside.She was walking across the street when she heard the sound of an explosion.成语暗含的意思
动词短语也有比喻意义或习语意义，这使它们难以理解。
Can you put me up for tonight?动词短语“put up”在这里的意思不是建造(比如竖起一道篱笆)。然而，它有一个习语/比喻意义。意思是让某人住在你的房子里。
是否可以分离?
1. 有时，介词/副词放在动词之后或宾语之后.
例如:
Mary made up a really entertaining story.Mary made the story up.2. 然而，如果宾语是代词，介词/副词必须放在代词(宾格)后面.
例句:
She made it up.Put it down.Take it off.3. 有些动词短语总是分不开的.
例句:
I came across some old photos in a drawer.NOT
