“Prepositional phrase(介词短语)” 是一类由介词引导的短语,它们往往能通过简短的结构表达出丰富而具体的含义。比如,三个包含 “hand” 的介词短语 “with hand”、“by hand” 和 “in hand” 虽然都与 “手” 有关,但却表达出了 “用手”、“亲手” 或 “掌控” 等等不同的含义。听节目,跟主持人 Phil 和步理一起学习这三个介词短语的用法。

在生活中,总有些爱好或技能会让我们不厌其烦地投入时间去学习掌握,但也有些事只会令我们浅尝辄止。短语 “dabble in something” 表达的就是 “对一件事略有涉足、有简单的了解”。不过,我们也可以用这个短语来谦虚地表达 “对某事只是略懂,并不熟悉或精通”。听节目,跟主持人 Phil 和菲菲学习短语 “dabble in” 的用法。

虽然都可以被用来表达 “原本应该做某事” 这个含义,“should have” 和 “could have” 在语气上并不相同。其中,“should have” 强调 “应该完成的事情没有完成”,带有强烈的指责意味;而 “could have” 表示 “原本能做到的事情却没有做”,暗示了错失机会的遗憾。听节目,跟主持人 Georgie 和步理学习如何使用表达 “should have” 和 “could have”。

单词 “rope” 不可仅以作名词,意思是 “绳子”,还可以作动词,意思是 “用绳子捆、绑”。英语表达 “rope someone in” 正是以 “用绳子套住某人” 这个意象来比喻 “用花言巧语说服某人做一件原本不想做的事”。听节目,跟主持人菲菲和 Georgie 学习表达 “rope someone in” 的用法。

乘坐出租车或和朋友一起开车出行时,我们经常需要用简短的方式告诉他人 “把车停在某个具体位置” 或者 “临时停一下车”。短语动词 “pull up” 和 “pull in” 都有 “停车” 的意思,但它们的区别是什么?它们后是否都可以跟“停车的具体位置”?听节目,跟主持人 Beth 和步理学习三个描述 “停车” 的短语动词。

单词 “surface(表面)” 不但可以指 “某样东西的表面”,比如地面或者海面等等,还可以指 “某个抽象事物的表面”。表达 “scratch the surface” 的意思就是 “只触及事物表面”。我们可以用这个表达来暗示 “对某事了解得非常浅显,不够深入”。听节目,跟主持人菲菲和 Georgie 学习这个表达的用法。

“Sew”、“seam” 和 “stitch” 都是和 “缝,缝纫” 有关的单词。不过,它们在使用上却有所不同。在它们之中,除了 “sew” 只能用作动词之外,“stitch” 和 “seam” 也分别具有 “针脚” 和 “接缝” 等独特的含义。听节目,辨析这三个单词的用法。

古语有云:青出于蓝而胜于蓝。事物总在不断地向前发展,许多工作和职责也会在不同的人手中传递。表达 “step into the shoes” 的意思就是 “接替职位,担起责任”。这个表达以人所穿着的 “shoes(鞋)” 来比喻人的 “地位、身份、责任等等” 。听节目,跟主持人 Phil 和菲菲学习这个表达的用法。
