今天节目当中我们主要学这样一个动词短语,叫做hook up,
其实说到hook up,我们之前在节目中讲老友记S2E5的时候讲过。当时是在第665期节目当中。大家可以点击超链接跳转复习一下。
(标题:“这些年一直想撮合你俩来着……”)
当时的关键句中包含这么一段:
but I was kind of hoping we could hook up again
但是我还是希望,我们有复合的机会。
在英文口语中,hook up可以理解成:to meet with someone in order to spend time with them“一起出去玩”,类似于hang out;
或者to start a romantic relationship“谈恋爱”;
eg: I hope we'll be able to hook up for coffee or something while you're home for Christmas break.
你圣诞假期回家的时候,希望我们有空可以一起聚聚喝杯咖啡什么的。
eg: No, we never hooked up—we're just friends.
不,我们没有谈过恋爱,我们只是朋友。
那么再来看看在今天节目当中hook up的用法。
在英文当中hook up sth. (to sth.)可以表示:“把某个东西连接到某个电子设备上”或者是“把某个东西接上电源”;
或者可以理解成“把某个电子设备安装好”;
to connect sth. to a piece of electronic equipment or to a power supply
或者
to set something up and get it working
eg: Check that the computer is hooked up to the printer.
