Take Your Time
慢慢来
●“Take”最基本的意思是“拿”,由此延伸出“取、抓、握、抱”等含义。比如,牵着老人的手过马路“take the old’s hand and across the street”,怀里抱着娃娃“take the baby in one’s arms”。
●以上描绘的动作表达了一种静态,“take”还可以表示动态,把手提箱拿到车上“take your suitcase to the car”,带着狗出去遛遛“take the dog out for a walk”,给她端杯咖啡“take a cup of coffee to her”。
●“吃、喝”一般用“have”表达,唯独吃药用“take”,如吃点感冒药“take some medicine for my cold”。吸烟用“have a smoke”,而呼吸新鲜空气用“take a breath of fresh air”,植物吸收水分表示为“take up water”。
●“take off”是一个非常常用的词组,挖掘它的用法,可以发现它具有“从浅入深”不同层次的含义。首先表达“脱下”,比如脱下你的外套“take your coat off”;其次表示商品打折,如打5折用“taking 50%off”;接着表示飞机起飞和休假,如休假三天“take three days off”;最后表示召回,如新闻里报道“某某汽车公司从全球市场上召回有问题汽车”,就要用上“take”一词,我们可以这样表达“take off the market”。
