⏰今日老师分享

home free是什么意思？千万别翻译成“回家自由”！

跟着王老师一起学习英语口语 ，带你遇见更优秀的自己[玫瑰][拥抱][太阳]

“home free”这个短语是什么意思？两个单词都非常简单，但连在一起怎么还有点看不懂的感觉了... 难道是“回家自由”？

大漏特漏！“home free”的意思是“胜利在望，大功告成”，固定搭配是be / get home free。

例句：

Just when she thought she was home free, her father spoke from behind her.

就在她认为已经大功告成的时候，身后传来她爸爸说话的声音。

Now we're home free, because we already did this.

搞定，因为我们已经做好了。

还有哪些有关home的英文表达呢？

close to home

“离家近”？no，这个短语的意思是“触到痛处，感同身受”。

⏰例句：

Everyone felt that his words hit close to home.

大家都认为他的话击中了要害。

When the old man spoke about the prejudice, some people felt he had come too close to home.

当那老人讲到偏见时，有些人感到他说得太露骨了。

⏰be home and dry

这个短语也不能按照字面意思来理解，其英文释义为“To have successfully completed something, as a project or activity. Primarily heard in UK.”也就是说“成功完成了某件事”，更常在英国地区使用。

例句：

I just need one more source for this essay and then I'll be home and dry.

我只需要再为这篇论文找一处引用，然后就能写完了。

I'm pretty sure I did well on that last exam, so it looks like I'm home and dry for the semester.

我感觉我上次考试考得还不错，所以这学期我应该学得挺好的。

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

——Mark Twain

20年后,你对自己做过的事会有遗憾,但你会更遗憾于你所未做过的事!所以,请扬帆启航吧!远离安逸的港湾,跟着信风一起去探索,去逐梦,去发现!

——马克.吐温.

基础的Do 的作用

动词do在句中的作用可以概述为四句十二字："做"实义，助动词，替前文，强语气。

作用一：实义，动词do

do作实义动词时，有do, does, did, done, doing五种形式，还有及物、不及物之分。如：

1、"做；研究；整理；完成"。如：

①The old man does an hour of sport every day. ②She did her homework at home last night.

③Mother was doing the cooking when I reached home. ④Have you done the exercises yet?

2、"行动；工作；进展；足够"。如：

①Kate does very well in her Chinese. ②How do you do? ③Well done! ④That will do.

作用二：助动do

do作助动词时，只有do, does, did三种形式，无词义，限用于含行为动词的一般现在时和一般过去时两种时态的否定句和疑问句中。如：

①They don't have any tickets for tonight's concert. ②Kate stayed at home last night, didn't she?

③How many books does the library have? ④She doesn't do the washing in the evening.

作用三：替代do

为避免动词的重复，使语言简练，常以do, does, did替代前文所用的行为动词。如：

①Tom runs much faster than you do.

②-Lucy, can you get some more tea, please? -Sure. I'll do it right away.

②-Who broke the cup? -Mimi did. ③-I like bananas. -So does he.

作用四：语气do

为突出感情色彩，do常用于祈使句、强调句和倒装句中，以加强语气。如：

①Do be careful. ②Don't tell a lie. ③He did come. ④-You often go to the park. -So we do.
