关于英语短语

Answer 1

常用英语短语词组

阅读理解和写作一直是英语考试中的难点，为了挺高英语阅读能力和写做能力，平时一定要多积累单词和短语，为了帮助大家，我分享了一些常用短语，希望能帮到大家!

1. catch fire

the house caught fire when they were away. 在他们外出时房子着火了。She was standing to close to the fireplace and her dress caught fire. 她站得离壁炉太近了，衣服烧着了。

2. on fire on fire / catch fire

都是“着火”的意思，不过catch fire强调动作，on fire强调状态，如：Look! The house is on fire.

3. look out Look out!

(当心、小心)，比Take care! 或Be careful! 语气要强，往往用于某种紧急情况或可能出现危险的场合。Look out! There’s danger in the forest. 后还可接for短语：Look out for the rock in the water. 当心水里的石头。

4. put out

灭火 They tried their best to put out the fire. 常用被动语态：The forest fire was put out soon. 森林大火很快就被扑灭了。注：be out熄灭：The forest fire was out at last.

7. in that case

如果那样 It may rain tomorrow. In that case, you'd better try another day. 明天可能下雨。那你最好改天在试。

In that case, you wouldn't have a pan on fire. You'd have a house on fire! 如果是那样的话，那你就不是使一个油锅着火，而会使一座房子失火了!对比：in case 以防(万一)，如：Take your raincoat in case it rains. 携带雨衣，以防下雨。
