反义短语的用法
11. look down on轻视 & look up to尊敬,敬仰
异同之处:look down on和look up to是一对反义词组,后面通常跟表示人、生命等的名词、代词或者名词词组。需要注意的是,look down on中的介词也可以替换成upon。
例1:Only those foolish people look down on the life of animals and plants.
只有那些愚蠢的人才轻视动物和植物的生命。
结构分析:Only those foolish people是主语(Only those foolish是三个前置定语), look down on是动词词组作谓语,the life of animals and plants是宾语(and是连接词,连接两个名词)。
例2:How do the people you respect and look up to present themselves?
你尊敬的人是怎么样表现自己的?
结构分析:How是方式状语,the people you respect是主语(you respect是后置定语,修饰前面的the people), do是谓语,and连接两个句子, look up to是谓语,present themselves是宾语。
12. keep one’s promise遵守某人的诺言 & break one’s promise食言
异同之处:keep one’s promise与break one’spromise是一对反义词组,在句中单独使用,作谓语。
例1:He is not a man who keep his promise. (12月六级)
他不是一个会遵守诺言的人。
例2:In a fairy tale, if a man breaks his promise, he will be punished by God.
在神话故事里,如果一个人违背了诺言,会被上帝惩罚。
作业短语:lose weight减少体重 & gain weight增加体重异同之处:lose weigh和gain weight是一对反义词组,lose weigh可用reduce weight代替,gain weight可用put on weight代替。
例1:As anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting generally produces the best results. (6月六级)
例2:Woman will gain weightduring pregnancy, which is a normal phenomenon.
