1.? 以 -ic 結(jié)尾的動(dòng)詞加 -ed 和 -ing
以 -ic 結(jié)尾的動(dòng)詞羔巢,先將詞尾變成 -ick, 再加 -ed/-ing有咨, 例如:
panic --- panicked , panicking??? 驚慌
mimic --- mimicked , mimicking? 模仿
picnic --- picnicked , picnicking?? 野餐
traffic --- trafficked , trafficking? 交通
2.? guy? 的用法乖订,
guy 這個(gè)詞在美國(guó)人口語(yǔ)中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)酥馍,復(fù)數(shù)形式 guys 可以指男性坦喘,或男女都有烤镐,甚至可以都是女性, 但單數(shù)的 guy 只指男性饺饭。
Hi, guys. How are you doing?
3.? enquire = inquire 打聽, 詢問(wèn)
enquire 英國(guó)寫法, inquire 美國(guó)寫法
這個(gè)詞多用作不及物動(dòng)詞,例:
You can inquire of your neighbours where the bank is.
I called the station to enquire about train times.
We must enquire into the matter.
We'd like to enquire whether he really came.
上面這句 whether 從句并不是 enquire 的賓語(yǔ)從句, enquire 后省略了 as to, 不省略的話應(yīng)該是 We'd like to enquire as to whether he really came.
