英语讲义【63】英语成语、短语、惯用语不合习惯的用法
<p> 英语成语、短语、惯用语很多。有时，它们的构造看起来不合逻辑，甚至不合常理，但又不能随意更改。例如，我们用双脚步行，应该是<span word="on">on</span> <span word="feet">feet</span>，但偏偏是<span word="on">on</span> <span word="foot">foot</span>才对。一般上说，成语、短语或惯用语中的字眼不可用别的字取代，词序也不可调换，因为一字之差，词序一换，原意可能走样，甚至毫无意思。</p><p> 在下列各组句子中，（<span word="a">a</span>）错、（<span word="b">b</span>）对：</p><p> ①<span word="a">a</span>. <span word="What">What</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="reason">reason</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="shunning">shunning</span> <span word="away">away</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>-<span word="collar">collar</span> <span word="work">work</span>?</p><p> <span word="b">b</span>. <span word="What">What</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="reason">reason</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="shying">shying</span> <span word="away">away</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="blue">blue</span>-<span word="collar">collar</span> <span word="work">work</span>?</p><p> ②<span word="a">a</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="working">working</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="behalf">behalf</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="company">company</span>.</p><p> <span word="b">b</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="working">working</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="behalf">behalf</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="company">company</span>.</p><p> ③<span word="a">a</span>. <span word="We">We</span> <span word="need">need</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="capable">capable</span> <span word="person">person</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="difficulties">difficulties</span>.</p><p> <span word="b">b</span>. <span word="We">We</span> <span word="need">need</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="capable">capable</span> <span word="person">person</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="us">us</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="times">times</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="difficultes">difficultes</span>.</p><p> ④<span word="a">a</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="term">term</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="economic">economic</span> <span word="development">development</span>, <span word="our">our</span> <span word="country">country</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="done">done</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="job">job</span>.</p><p> <span word="b">b</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="terms">terms</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="economic">economic</span> <span word="development">development</span>, <span word="our">our</span> <span word="country">country</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="done">done</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="job">job</span>.</p><p> ⑤<span word="a">a</span>. <span word="Few">Few</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="friend">friend</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="hypocrites">hypocrites</span>.</p><p> <span word="b">b</span>. <span word="Few">Few</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="friends">friends</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="hypocrites">hypocrites</span>.</p><p> ⑥<span word="a">a</span>. <span word="Lets">Lets</span> <span word="discuss">discuss</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="matter">matter</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="details">details</span>.</p><p> <span word="b">b</span>. <span word="Lets">Lets</span> <span word="discuss">discuss</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="matter">matter</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="detail">detail</span>.</p><p> ⑦<span word="a">a</span>. <span word="That">That</span> <span word="rich">rich</span> <span word="woman">woman</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="covered">covered</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="jewellery">jewellery</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="top">top</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="toes">toes</span>.</p>
