万用的 Do （1）
<p>万用的 <span word="Do">Do</span> </p><p>在英文里常常有一些使用频率非常高的单词，比方我们讲过的 <span word="come">come</span>、<span word="off">off</span> 还有这次要介绍的 <span word="do">do</span> 都是很好的例子。它们在口语中的用法十分地广泛，而且常常是出现在不同的地方就会有不同的解释。这次我们就来讲一些<span word="do">do</span>在日常生活中常用、而各位读者可能比较陌生的用法。 1. <span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="what">what</span>?</p><p>你说什么？ 很多人都认为当你听不懂别人在讲什么时只能说“<span word="Excuse">Excuse</span> <span word="me">me</span>?”、“<span word="Pardon">Pardon</span>?”或是“<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="sorry">sorry</span>?”其实在生活美语当中还有很多其它的选择。比如“<span word="What">What</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="that">that</span>?”和“<span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="what">what</span>?”这样的用法也都是老美常说的。 比方说，有位老美跟你说“<span word="We">We</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="picnic">picnic</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="weekend">weekend</span>.”你大概听懂了“<span word="We">We</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span>...”和“<span word="this">this</span> <span word="weekend">weekend</span>”，但没听清楚到底是要做什么。这时候你就可以说“<span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="what">what</span>?”那他就会告诉你：<span word="We">We</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="picnic">picnic</span>. 当然，你如果去翻阅一般的字典或语法书，是肯定找不到 <span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="what">what</span>? 这样的用法。这种用法是大家在生活上基于方便而创造出来的口语，大家可以尝试着在和老美对话时使用，但在写作上则应该尽量避免。</p><p>2.<span word="Don">Don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="that">that</span>.</p><p>你不能这样对待我。 从字面上看，并不难猜出 <span word="do">do</span> 在这里有“对待某人”的意思，也就相当于 <span word="treat">treat</span>。比方说某个女生把男朋友给甩了，他就可以哭着求她：<span word="Please">Please</span>, <span word="you">you</span> <span word="cannot">cannot</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="this">this</span>.任何东西都可以。 <span word="Do">Do</span> 在这里很难解释，但如果我们看整个句子，“<span word="Anything">Anything</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="do">do</span>.”就是说任何东西都行。比方妈妈让你去帮她买青菜，你问她要买哪一种青菜，她回答你“<span word="Anything">Anything</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="do">do</span>, <span word="as">as</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="it">it</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="green">green</span>.”意思就是只要是绿色的蔬菜，通通都可以。 如果说“<span word="Everything">Everything</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="do">do</span>.”是每一样都可以，那举一反三，“<span word="Just">Just</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="do">do</span>.”是什么意思？其实就是“只有一样可以”。比方说这里有四种咳嗽糖浆 (<span word="cough">cough</span> <span word="syrup">syrup</span>)，但是你知道只有一种有效，你就可以说：<span word="Although">Although</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="sell">sell</span> <span word="four">four</span> <span word="cough">cough</span> <span word="syrups">syrups</span> <span word="here">here</span>, <span word="just">just</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="do">do</span>.</p>
