19. Oh, yes, that's our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.
點(diǎn)睛
get...off意為“(某天)休息”,get off則表示“停止工作”其中off本身含有“停止,中斷”之意,和get, be, take等動(dòng)詞組成短語(yǔ)時(shí),可表示“不工作,不上學(xué),休息”。如:I was off with the flu yesterday. 我因感染了流感昨天休息了。You look tired; you should take tomorrow off. 你看起來(lái)很疲憊,明天應(yīng)該休息一下。
考點(diǎn)歸納
聽(tīng)力中,與off相關(guān)的短語(yǔ)還有:
badly off意為“生活貧困;運(yùn)氣不佳”
Her family is badly off. 她的家庭生活貧困。
better off意為“情況好些,生活比較寬裕”
We are better off economically. 我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況好些了。
from the off[俚]意為“從頭開(kāi)始”
The sitcom is perfect from the off. 這部情景喜劇從一開(kāi)始就很完美。
off and on意為“斷斷續(xù)續(xù);不時(shí)地”
I slept off and on last night. 我昨晚時(shí)睡時(shí)醒。
聽(tīng)音解惑
get Wednesdaysoff[ɡet ?wenzdiz?f]里的[z]與[?]相鄰,讀作[ɡet ?wenzdi z?f]。
