Let's begin with phrasal verbs.
讓我們從動詞短語開始。
 
Phrasal verbs
動詞短語
 
Phrasal verbs have a verb and either a preposition or an adverb called a particle. A particle is a short word. Phrasal verbs can be made up of one particle or two. A phrasal verb has a meaning different from that of the verb alone. Phrasal verbs can often be separated from the particle by a noun or pronoun.
短語動詞有一個動詞和一個介詞或一個稱為助詞的副詞。助詞是一個短詞。短語動詞可以由一個或兩個粒子組成。短語動詞的含義不同于單獨的動詞。短語動詞通?？梢酝ㄟ^名詞或代詞與助詞分開。

動名詞由動詞構(gòu)成，但它們在句子中的作用類似于名詞。我們使用詞尾 -ing 來創(chuàng)建動名詞。動名詞表示行為或存在狀態(tài)。我們用幾種動名詞來表達各種運動。
 
For example, "walking" is a gerund.
例如，“walking”是動名詞。

We take the base form of the verb and add -ing.

Final thoughts
最后的想法
 
Today we looked at common expressions for exercise. We can use phrasal verbs like "work out" and "cool down" to describe our actions. We use a base verb plus a preposition to create a phrasal verb which can be divided by either a noun or pronoun.
今天我們看看常見的表達方式來練習(xí)。我們可以使用“work out”和“cool down”這樣的短語動詞來描述我們的行為。我們使用一個基本動詞加上一個介詞來創(chuàng)建一個可以被名詞或代詞分開的短語動詞。
 
Another verb-like structure we examined are gerunds. Gerunds work like nouns in sentences but are formed by placing the ing-ending on verbs. Since gerunds describe actions, they are perfect for describing exercises that we do to stay happy and healthy.
我們檢查的另一個類似動詞的結(jié)構(gòu)是動名詞。動名詞在句子中的作用類似于名詞，但它是通過將 ing 詞尾放在動詞上形成的。由于動名詞描述的是行動，因此它們非常適合描述我們?yōu)楸３挚鞓泛徒】刀M行的鍛煉。
