Tel︰ (02) 2365-3288說到「敲門」的英文,很多夥伴第一時間應該都會想到是 knock the door,但這個說法造成的誤會可就大了,不小心甚至還會被警察逮捕。因為 knock the door更像是 “破門而入”。|knock the door 破門而入knock作為及物動詞,後面直接接 “物”的時候,表示「碰、撞;碰倒、撞倒」,因此knock the door更多是有「撞門」的意思。She knocked her head against the wall as she fell.她跌倒時頭撞在牆上。而 knock也可以作為不及物動詞,表示「(反覆地)敲、打」。所以「敲門」正確的講法該怎麼說呢?必須在中間加上 “at” 或 “on”。 |knock at/on the door 敲門There's someone knocking on/at the door.有人在敲門。如果前面加上 “the” 變成一個名詞片語,就有「員警(或士兵)到家裡來把某人帶走」的意思。During the dictatorship people had come to fear the knock at the door in the middle of the night.獨裁時期,人們害怕半夜時會被人從家裡抓走。英文是否很奇妙呢?只是差一個不起眼的介系詞或是冠詞,整個語意就完全不同了。因此,為避免誤會,「敲門」會更建議直接說 “knock knock”,常看美劇或電影的夥伴應該很熟悉,因為這是外國人很常用的表達。Please knock before entering.進來前請先敲門。knock 這個字在英語裡所延伸出來的俚語和片語有很多,咱們現在就一起來看看吧!--------------------------------------------------------關於外國人最常用的 knock off,這邊有 4 種用法,各位夥伴千萬不要混淆囉!|knock it off 住嘴;住手這個俚語也是外國人很常掛在嘴邊的說法,更正確一點的意思應該是「要對方停止現在的行為,不要煩你」,我們就可以說 knock it off。Oh, knock it off Alex, I'm really not in the mood for your jokes.別說了 Alex,我真的沒心情聽你說笑話。|knock off (sth) 停止(工作);下班I don't knock off until six.我到6點才下班。|knock - off (流行產品的) 仿冒品記得在 knock 和 off 中間加上 " - ",knock-off 則變成名詞。Is that the real thing or a knock-off?那是真品還是仿製品?|knock sth off (sth) (從價格中)減去、除去The manager knocked $5 off because it was damaged.因為有破損,經理將價格降低了5美元。|knock on wood 老天保佑這個各位夥伴應該不陌生,有時候我們不小心說錯話,不希望它發生,我們就會 “敲敲木頭”,其實就是來自於這個俚語。The deal will be agreed on Wednesday, knock on wood.這筆交易將在星期三達成,老天保佑。|knock around 閑呆著,悠閒地打發時間/(和某人)長時間在一起I spent the weekend just knocking around the house.我週末就在家裡閑呆著。I used to knock around with him at school.我過去在學校裡常和他在一起。|knock around (sth) (某物長時間)散置在(某處)I'm sure I've got a copy of "Gone with the Wind" knocking around somewhere.我肯定我有一本《亂世佳人》在什麼地方。|knock sb / sth down 擊倒,打倒,撞倒/降價;說服(某人)降價;殺(某人的)價She was knocked down by a bus.她被一輛公共汽車撞倒了。She wanted $200 but I knocked her down to $175.她開價200美元,我還到175美元。|knock (some) sense into sb 讓(某人)懂道理A couple of years in the army will knock some sense into him.當幾年兵會讓他懂些道理。|be knocking (on) 60, 70, etc. 快60/70歲等(通常指高齡)She was knocking on 80 when she died.她去世時快80歲了。福爾摩思學院Line︰ https://lin.ee/WHyrhZWTel︰ (02) 2365-3288官網︰ https://www.foremostedu.com臉書︰ https://www.facebook.com/foremostedu.tw頻道︰ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK1VYWnJRUhoyWQ2Wid65fwMap︰ https://goo.gl/maps/ouse7TF8XQ5thnaj8教育︰https://foremostedu.business.siteig︰ https://www.instagram.com/foremost.english/雅思課程介紹https://mamibuy.com.tw/talk/article/207652多益課程介紹https://mamibuy.com.tw/talk/article/133114托福課程介紹https://blog.xinmedia.com/article/177611#TOEFL #雅思 #IELTS #多益 #TOEIC #英文補習班 #托福補習班 #雅思補習班 #多益補習班 #雅思課程報名
