5分鐘英文口語|keep out禁止進入 / 排除某人


語言學習都可以透過chatGPT來做更好的解釋翻譯與使用,另外也可以出考題,讓自己每日學習有所回饋,讓我們今天跟學一下常見的英文片語吧 ! !


很多片語有多個不同的含義,取決於上下文來定義,也有很多乍看下會誤會的片語,每天了解四個片語,50天就口語超級進步。(第39天)


 
keep out(遠離,不准進入):

解釋: This phrase means to prevent or prohibit entry or access to a particular place or area. It can be used literally to talk about physical barriers, such as gates or fences, or figuratively to indicate exclusion.

表示防止或禁止進入特定地方或區域。可以用於字面上討論物理障礙,如門或籬笆,也可以用於比喻性的排斥。




例句:

  1. The "Keep Out" sign on the door means you're not allowed to enter. 門上的“禁止進入”標誌意味著你不能進入。

  2. They wanted to keep out anyone who didn't belong to their group. 他們想要排除任何不屬於他們團體的人。




 

stands to reason(理所當然):

解釋: This phrase means that something is logical or reasonable based on the information or facts available. It implies that there is a natural or expected conclusion to be drawn.

這個片語表示基於可用的信息或事實,某事是合乎邏輯或合理的。它意味著有一個自然或預期的結論可以得出。



例句:

  1. It stands to reason that if you study regularly, you'll perform well in the exam. 理所當然,如果你定期學習,你在考試中會表現出色。

  2. Given the current economic situation, it stands to reason that companies are cutting costs to survive. 鑑於目前的經濟形勢,公司削減成本以求生存是理所當然的。

X 常被誤會的錯誤意思 :與“站立”或“理由”聯繫起來,其實指某事在邏輯上是合理的或預期的。

解釋: This phrase means to repeat a task, action, or activity because it was not done correctly or satisfactorily the first time. It implies starting again from the beginning.

表示因為第一次沒有正確或令人滿意地完成,而需要重複一個任務、行動或活動。

  2. I made a mistake in the calculations, and I had to do the entire project over. 我在計算中犯了錯誤,我不得不重新做整個項目。

X 常被誤會的錯誤意思 :並非“做完”,其實是重複進行某事,而不僅僅是完成它。


 

get through(通過,完成):

解釋: This phrase has two common meanings. Firstly, it can mean to successfully finish or complete something, such as a task or an obstacle. Secondly, it can mean to successfully communicate or connect with someone.

有兩個常見的含義。它可以表示成功完成某事,比如一個任務或一個障礙。另外也可以表示成功與某人通信或建立聯繫。
