记住这些搭配,用起来就方便多了。
记得有一次,我陪朋友去英国旅行,那会儿正值国庆假期,人山人海。我们俩在伦敦的牛津街闲逛,看到一家店里有个特价活动,我朋友看中了一件风衣,标价是£150。我告诉她,如果用“spend”这个词组,可以说:“She is planning to spend £150 on that coat.”
等等,还有个事,我突然想到,有一次我在上海的一家餐厅吃饭,服务员推荐了一款特色菜,价格是88元。我就跟朋友说:“That dish will cost us 88 yuan.” 这里也是用“cost”这个词组,跟“spend”有点类似,但更侧重于某物本身的价值。
spend的固定搭配主要有以下几种:
1. spend time doing sth.:花时间做某事。
- 例:I spent the whole afternoon reading that book.
2. spend money on sth. / in doing sth.:花钱买某物/做某事。 - 例:She spends a lot of money on clothes.
3. spend time with sb.:和某人共度时光。 - 例:I love spending time with my family.
4. spend (in) doing sth.:花费(时间)做某事。 - 例:He spent two hours in doing his homework.
5. spend (in) the money:用钱。 - 例:I spent all the money on the trip.
记住了这些搭配,用spend表达就轻松多了!
