今日學(xué)習(xí)單詞:count 耐朴。
Count 這詞算是一個(gè)高頻詞匯了瓷蛙,日常使用很頻繁厌衙。今天學(xué)習(xí)的并不是我們所熟知的“to?add (people or things) together to find the total number”台谊,而是學(xué)習(xí)另外一些重要的義項(xiàng)勉盅。
1.? to be accepted or allowed officially.
There was a penalty on the play, so the goal does not count. [=the goal is not allowed]
因?yàn)楸荣愔杏蟹敢?guī)古话,所以剛才的得分無(wú)效丢习。
2.? to consider or regard (someone or something) in a specified way
I count myself lucky.
我挺幸運(yùn)的牵触。
常與 as 連用:
I don't count him as my friend anymore.
我和他友盡了。
3.? to be considered or regarded as something
The job is so easy that it hardly counts as work. [=it can hardly be considered to be work]
這份任務(wù)太簡(jiǎn)單了咐低,簡(jiǎn)直不能稱之為任務(wù)揽思。
4.? to have value or importance
Every vote counts.
每一票都很重要。
What happened doesn’t count, but how you respond to it does.
重要的不是發(fā)生了什么事见擦,而是你如何應(yīng)對(duì)這件事钉汗。
常與 for連用:
Her promises don't count for much. [=his promises don't have much value]
她的承諾根本沒(méi)用。
學(xué)到這里鲤屡,我想起了電影Titanic 中损痰,Jack 盛裝出席 Rose 和未婚夫的晚宴,他離開(kāi)時(shí)悄悄地遞給 Rose 一個(gè)小紙條酒来,上面寫著“Make it count”卢未。Jack 愛(ài)慕 Rose,期待與她度過(guò)一個(gè)難忘的夜晚堰汉,所以向 Rose 發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)辽社,參加底層甲板的舞會(huì)。但是環(huán)境不允許他口頭發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)翘鸭,于是他寫了一個(gè)小紙條滴铅,Make it count。把握機(jī)會(huì)就乓!最終結(jié)果大家都知道了汉匙。
近期重啟英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)拱烁,心態(tài)發(fā)生了很大的變化。盡管心中有一個(gè)具象的目標(biāo)盹兢,但是我覺(jué)得不要每天去想這個(gè)目標(biāo)邻梆,而是從一些關(guān)鍵的小事開(kāi)始做起,會(huì)有更好的效果绎秒。想到許岑老師倡導(dǎo)的“做了再說(shuō)”浦妄,結(jié)合 count 的學(xué)習(xí),可以造一個(gè)句子:
Starting doing it? counts more than planing to do it.?
此外 count 還有很多有用的詞組搭配用法见芹,比如count in = to plan to include (someone) in an activity.還有count on (someone) = to trust (someone)/ to expect (someone) to do something/count on (something) = to expect (something) to happen 剂娄。如果有興趣,大家也可以自己去查一下字典玄呛,挺有趣的阅懦。
