本届平昌冬奥会，很多运动员都打破了世界纪录。在英语口语里说到打破纪录，我们常常会用到break a record。今天来讲讲它的多样表达。 1. set a record They want to set a record by making Buffalo's largest cookie. 他们想打破布法罗最大的曲奇的纪录。 I checked the sales receipts, and we've just set a record. 我看过了营业额，我们刚创下新纪录。 【小知识】 如果说set/put the record straight，就跟打破纪录没多大关系了，它的意思是陈述真相；澄清是非。 She's decided to write her memoirs to set the record straight once and for all. 她决定撰写回忆录以彻底澄清事实。 2. chalk up records chalk sth up的意思是获（胜）；得（分），比如： New world records in the track and field events are chalked up from time to time in the past few years. 近几年来经常出现新的世界田径纪录。 3. create/establish/make/register a new record She established a new European record in the high jump. 她创造了欧洲跳高的新纪录。 4. beat/smash/shatter a previous record beat、smash和shatter都有打、打破的意思，这几个词是不是比break更激烈更生动呢？ She beat the world record in the three events she entered on her way to two gold medals and a silver. |
