<p><span word="Up">Up</span> & <span word="Down">Down</span>：看上看下 [ 2007-07-25 10:21 ] 除了"北上南下"，<span word="up">up</span> 和<span word="down">down</span> 也可以用来表示"看上面"、"看下面"，引申为"尊敬"和"瞧不起"的意思。</p><p>1. <span word="How">How</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="there">there</span>?</p><p>你在那儿过得如何?</p><p><span word="How">How</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="been">been</span> 是一句日常的问候语，就相当于"你最近过得怎么样了？"。加上 <span word="up">up</span> <span word="there">there</span>，则表示那个人可能是从北方来的，或是可能刚从北方回来。譬如有个人去北京玩，回到广州，你就可以问他"<span word="What">What</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="there">there</span>?"</p><p>2. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="drove">drove</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="Boston">Boston</span>.</p><p>我一路开车到波士顿。</p><p><span word="All">All</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> 翻成中文就是"一路到底" 的意思，这个片语常跟 <span word="up">up</span> 或 <span word="down">down</span> 合用，例如你说 "<span word="I">I</span> <span word="drove">drove</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="there">there</span>."。或是比如说去溜滑梯，你就可以说"<span word="You">You</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="slide">slide</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="down">down</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bottom">bottom</span>."</p><p>3. <span word="Hey">Hey</span>, <span word="look">look</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="girl">girl</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="there">there</span>.</p><p>嘿. 看看在上面的那个女孩.</p><p>要注意一下 <span word="up">up</span> 和 <span word="down">down</span> 不完全当北边和南边解释，要看上下文而定。像在这个句子里<span word="up">up</span> <span word="there">there</span> 代表的是"在上面"的意思，因为在日常的对话中我们不太可能说"看看北边的那个女孩"，我们只会说"看看上面的那个女孩"。英文中的道理也是一样的。同理，"<span word="Look">Look</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="girl">girl</span> <span word="down">down</span> <span word="there">there</span>. "就是"看看在下面的那个女孩"。</p><p>4. <span word="Never">Never</span> <span word="look">look</span> <span word="down">down</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="less">less</span> <span word="superior">superior</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="you">you</span>.</p><p>不要轻视不如你的人。</p>
