| She is always running out of make-up. 对 话 Jennifer: I'm really annoyed with my roommate Sara. Michelle: Why? She seems quite nice to me. Jennifer: She's always running out of make-up and when she does she just uses mine without even asking. Michelle: Hm, that's not very nice. Why don't you try locking it up? Jennifer: I could, but she'd probably get really annoyed with me. Michelle: Oh dear, you've got a bit of a problem there. 詹妮弗：我的室友萨拉实在讨厌。 米歇尔：为什么？我看她这个人很不错。 詹妮弗：她自己的化妆品一用完了，就用我的，甚至不先问问我，而且经常如此。 米歇尔：嗯，那实在不大好。为什么不试试把化妆品锁起来？ 詹妮弗：我可以锁起来，但这可能令她很不高兴。 米歇尔：唉，那实在有点麻烦. She is always running out of make-up这一句，其实关乎两个动词词组(phrasal verb) : run out和make up。Run out是‘耗尽’，主词(subject)可以是那耗尽的事物，也可以是耗尽那事物的人，而用of带出那事物，例如：(1) Our store of firewood is beginning to run out（我们储存的木柴快要用完了）。(2) I must go to the supermarket for some sugar - we've run out/I must go to the supermarket - we've run out of sugar（我们没有糖了，得上超级市场买了）。 常用语to run out of time就是‘没时间了’，例如：Time is running out. If we don't act now, we'll be ruined（时间已经不多了，我们现在不行动，就要完蛋了）。Make up作动词，有‘弥补’的意思，例如：He tried to make up the time lost by driving at a dangerously high speed（他以危险的高速开车，希望弥补失去的时间）。化妆可以弥补容貌的不足，所以也叫做make up，例如：She carefully made her face up before going out with her boyfriend（他和男朋友外出之前，先细心打扮）。而make-up作名词，就是化妆品。留意Why don't you try locking it up?一语。Try之后可以用‘to＋原形动词(infinitive)’，也可用动名词(gerund)，但两个句式的意思不同：一是指‘努力去做某事’，一是指‘试做某事看看有什么效果’。所以，I tried to lock it up是‘我努力试图把它锁上，但未必成功’；I tried locking it up是‘我把它锁起来，看看有什么效果’。 |
