Phrasal Verbs(片語) 2 - In The Morning

這一次,大家可以看看Jane和Sarah關於每早起床的對話,去學習一下Phrasal Verb…
Jane: You're not properly awake yet, are you?
Sarah: How do you know?
Jane: Well, look how you've made up your face. And you shirt is done up so that one side is higher than the other.

Sarah: Oh dear. I look awful.
Jane: I'd have a wash and start again, if I were you.
Sarah: It's terrible. I keep on oversleeping. I wake up late nearly everyday, and I have to get up in a hurry....

Jane: I know just what it's like. I never get enough time to myself in the mornings.
Sarah: Time! I don't have time to see to the children' s breakfast, let alone
worry about anything else.
文章中粗體的片語:
  • Make up(N1,N2,P1,!) - You make your face up with cosmetics or make-up. You can also make (yourself) up.
  • Keep on(G)- When you keep on talking you talk repeatedly.
  • Wake up(N1,N2,P1,!) - An alarm clock wakes you up. When you hear it you wake up.
  • Get up(N1,P1,!) - You get up in the morning. You get a baby up.
  • See to(N2,P2) - When a job needs to be done you see to it.
  • Do up(N1,N2,P1) - 見On the Plane
另外,大家也不妨留意Sarah 第一句:"You're not properly awake yet, are you? "

其實Sarah這樣問己經假設Jane的確未訓醒,然後作出反問。句子前半你會使用否定式(not),後半問題部分,你則使用一般問題方法而不會加上not。

如果Sarah假設Jane是訓醒的,則not會在後半,而非前半部分出現。
