集合名词audience的用法要点
集合名词audience的用法要点
1. 表示“听众”、“观众”,是集合名词,用作主语时,其谓语可用单数(视为整体时)或复数(视为个体时)。如:
The audience is [are]listening attentively. 听众都在聚精会神地听着。
The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance. 观众对演出非常欣赏。
有时由于语义的需要,分别用单数或复数更合适。如:
The audience was enormous. 观众人很多。(from www.nmet168.com)
The audience are requested to be in their seats by 8:00. 观众要在八点前都入座。
2. 形容听(观)众人数之多或少,通常用 large, small, crowded, thin等形容词(但是不能用 many)修饰audience。如:
There was a large audience of young people at the pop concert. 流行音乐演奏会上有大量青年听众。
Her lecture had a crowded audience. 她的演讲挤满了听众。
The speaker had a small (thin) but attentive audience. 这位演讲者的听众不多(很少),但很专心。
要在那么多观众面前唱歌她感到很紧张。
正:She felt nervous at having to sing before so large an audience [such a large audience].
误:She felt nervous at having to sing before so many audience.
3. audience 虽为集合名词,但有时可用复数形式。如:
The audiences were enormous. 听众特别多。
He addressed audiences all over the country. 他向全国各地的听众作地演讲。
4. audience 有时可表示“读者”。如:
That book has a large audience. 那本书有广大的读者。
go out和get out的用法
Go out其实有很多种意思,除了有to leave one's home(离家),to leave a building,region,or other place(离开某地)众多意思中,还一个有趣的意思:
.o go on a date with someone(跟某人约会)
如果有人问你:"Will you go out with me?" 那么就不要耿直的理解成:你可以和我出去吗?的简单字面意思,而是人家在撩你,言外之意就是我可以和你约会吗?你愿意跟我约会吗?是这个意思
下次有人这么问你,你可要看清楚对方长相哦
(开个玩笑)
Get out有离开的意思,这种离开带有“逃走”,“逃跑”,“逃避”或”被迫离开“的意思:.o depart,flee,or escape.
比如你想逃离现在的生活环境,换一个地方,就可以用get out
例句:We need to get out of here before the police show up!
在警察到达之前我们要离开这。
.et out 外出(参加社交活动)
例句:Get out and enjoy yourself,make new friends.
出去结交新朋友,玩的愉快。
.et out还有驱赶某人离开的意思,就是滚粗去(有点不礼貌,别人用它,你不用
)
Get out of here!滚开!
Go out of here 离开这儿。(上面例句提到过,语气就没get out那么强烈了)
get out中间+名词或代词(名词也可以放在get out后面)的情况:
.示:从某人,某物或某地移除或取出某物
例句:Can you get this lipstick out? It's really a must-try.
你能把这只口红拿出来吗?它真的值得一试。
.示:把某人从麻烦,困难,不愉快或恼人的环境或情况中解救出来
例句:Get the kids out of here before they get hurt!
在孩子们受伤之前,要把ta们解救出来。
.示:在唱歌或用语言表达某事时遇到了困难(卡壳了)
例句:
I was supposed to make a speech in the talent show, but once I saw how many people were in the audience, I couldn't get a note out.
原本我要在才艺秀舞台上发表演讲,但当我看到台下那么多观众,我卡壳了。
.示:to reveal something(揭露,透露)
例句:If the government doesn't get these facts out there now, more people will die.
如果政府现在还不透露这些事实,会有更多的人死去。
.示:生产,创造,出版/发行
