Phrasal verbs*formation:短语动词是由副词或介词与动词构成的,有时也会由副词和介词与动词构成.★1.The price of petrol may go up (= increase上升) again next week.2.He fell over (= fell to the ground摔倒) when he was running for the bus.3.She’s promised to find out (= learn/discover找到) the name of that new hotel.4.If you don't understand the meaning, you can look it up(= find the meaning in a book – in this case a dictionary查字典).5.He doesn’t get on with (= have a good relationship with 相处融洽) his parents. (verb + adv + prep)*Meaning: ①有时短语动词的词义与其基础动词词义较接近,副词只是加强了基础动词的词义如:stand up, wake up, save up, hurry up, sit down, lie down 和send off (e.g. a letter).②其他情况下,副词增加了完成动词从事的动作的词义,例如: drink up (=finish your drink)eat up (= finish eating)③然而多数情况下,短语动词的词义与基础动词是不同的, 例如: go up不是go的意思; look after也不同于look, 更有别于look up.一个副词或介词看来可以很大程度的改变一个动词的词义.如:1.It took her a long time to get over (= get better / recover from 恢复) her illness.Get over: 克服;恢复;熬过2.He told me to carry on (= continue继续走) as far as the traffic lights. Sth.\doing3.I persuaded my wife to give up (= stop戒掉) smoking.4.I can't make any sandwiches because we've run out of bread. (=the bread is finished / all used, so we have no bread 面包吃完了)5.In the end my next-door neighbor had to come and put out (=extinguish/stop把火熄灭) the fire.*Multiple meaning:许多短语动词不只有一个意思,因而当你遇到你知道的短语时要当心,或是查一查字典.在下列标有下划线的例子中,动词短语比括号中的解释在使用时要自然得多.take offIt was hot so I decided to take off (= remove 脱下) my jacket.I am always nervous when the plane takes off (= leaves the ground 起飞).get throughI don’t think I’ll get through (= finish 完成) this report before five o'clock.I think she’ll get through (= pass 通过) the exam.pick upI picked up the rubbish (= took it from the ground or a low place拾起) and put it in the bin.I had to go to the shop to pick up (= collect取) my photos.go off爆炸;消失;响起;进行;变质;熄灭My alarm clock didn’t go off (= ring响) this morning.The bomb could go off (= explode爆炸) at any minute.The fish will go off (= go bad变坏) if you don't put it in the fridge.*Grammar:intransitive verbs(vi.)有些短语动词是不及物的, 不需要有直接宾语.1.The children are growing up. (= getting older and more mature成长)2.The doctor told me to lie down(躺下) on the bed.3.Don’t wait out there. Please come in. (= enter进来)4.I’m going to stay in (= stay at home待在家) this evening. Stay in不出门;固定…位置上不动;(火焰等)继续燃烧stay in a job在这些动词中, 你无需在动词和副词之间加进任何词.*Grammar: transitive verbs(vt.) 许多短语动词是及物的, 需要有一个直接宾语. 在这些词中, 你可以将宾语放在动词和副词之间:Put on your shoes. Turn on the TV.Put your shoes on. Turn the TV on.如果宾语是个代词, 它必须放在动词和副词之间.Put them on. [NOT Put on them]Turn it on. [NOT Turn on it]*Style: formal or informal有些短语动词可以同样用语口语和书面语中.这是因为没有更简单的表达该短语动词的方式.1.I always wake up (起床) early, even at weekends.2.The car broke down (= went wrong; stopped working 坏了) on themotorway.3.The plane couldn't take off (起飞) because of bad weather.4.Thieves broke into (= entered by force and illegally 破门而入) thehouse and took money, credit cards and all my jewellery.但是多数短语动词是非正式的. 常用于口语中, 而在书面语中会有一个更正式的且具有同等意义的词.1.We had to make up a story. (= invent/create from our imagination编造)2.I can usually get by on about £200 a week. (= manage 勉强过活)3.You can leave out questio n 7. (= omit, i.e. you don‘t need to doquestion 7排除, 省略)4.They‘ve got a problem and they asked me to sort it out.

Think of them as you would any other English vocabulary. Study them as you come across them, rather than trying to memorize many at once.

If you think of each phrasal verb as a separate verb with a specific meaning, you will be able to remember it more easily. Like many other verbs, phrasal verbs often have more than one meaning. As well as learning their meanings, you need to learn how to use phrasal verbsproperly. Some phrasal verbs require a direct object (someone/something), while others do not. Some phrasal verbs can be separated by the object, while others cannot. Review the grammar lesson on phrasal verbs from time to time so that you don't forget the rules!
