heads up 当心
<p> 今天我们要讲的三个习惯用语都是在过去十年内先后出现的。现在美国人在日常生活中经常用这几个习惯用语。</p><p> 1. <span word="heads">heads</span> <span word="up">up</span> 当心，警告，通报</p><p> <span word="Head">Head</span>就是头，是人身体上很重要的一部分。在这个习惯用语里，<span word="head">head</span>是多数，所以在<span word="head">head</span>后面要加<span word="s">s</span>, <span word="heads">heads</span>。 <span word="Heads">Heads</span> <span word="up">up</span>就是在一件事发生前先告诉某人，或者是先警告某人。<span word="heads">heads</span> <span word="up">up</span>用做名词时，前面可加不定冠词<span word="a">a</span>。</p><p> 请看下面的例子。纽约一家大公司在旧金山有个分公司。分公司的经理听说纽约总部的总裁和总经理要来旧金山检查工作。于是，旧金山分公司的经理就召开了一个职工会议，他对工作人员说：</p><p> 例句-1：<span word="I">I</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="give">give</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="heads">heads</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="big">big</span> <span word="shots">shots</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="New">New</span> <span word="York">York</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="here">here</span> <span word="next">next</span> <span word="Monday">Monday</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="see">see</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="we">we</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="doing">doing</span>. <span word="So">So</span> <span word="let">let</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="sure">sure</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="desks">desks</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="clean">clean</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="show">show</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="we">we</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="doing">doing</span> - <span word="we">we</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="put">put</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="show">show</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="them">them</span>.</p><p> </p><p>&<span word="nbsp">nbsp</span>;</p><p> 我要预先告诉你们，纽约的几位重要人物星期一要到这儿来检查我们的工作。所以，我们一定要把桌子弄干净，让他们看看我们在做什么&<span word="mdash">mdash</span>;&<span word="mdash">mdash</span>;我们要做得好一点给他们看看。</p><p> 2. <span word="face">face</span> <span word="time">time</span> 会面时间，面对面交谈</p><p> 这两个单词都很简单，<span word="face">face</span>就是脸，<span word="time">time</span>就是时间。那么，这两个词合在一起又是什么意思呢? <span word="Face">Face</span> <span word="time">time</span>的意思是面对面跟一个人谈话，因为你有求与他，例如你要他同意和你签订一个商业合同，或者是要他给你一份工作，或者其他任何他能帮你忙的事。</p>
