　　Explanation

　　釋義

　　Robbie: So, are you good at using verbs like to “get away with?”

　　Robbie: 那你會不會用“get away with”這個(gè)短語?

　　Jennifer: I think so. Using that type of verb is easy. You just need to know how and when to use it.

　　Jennifer: 會，這個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語很簡單。你得知道怎么用，什么時(shí)候用。

　　Robbie: Okay, for example?

　　Robbie: 好，比如說呢?

　　Jennifer: The phrase “get away with” means to not get caught or punished for doing something wrong. For example - the student said she had studied for the test but she didn’t. She got a good grade anyway, so she got away with it.

　　Jennifer: “get away with”這個(gè)短語的意思是僥幸逃離，逃脫懲罰。比如說，一個(gè)學(xué)生說為了考試努力學(xué)習(xí)了，可是她沒有。結(jié)果她考的分?jǐn)?shù)很不錯(cuò)，所以她只是僥幸成功了。

　　Robbie: So in this sentence it means that she should have studied but it turned out all right anyway?

　　Robbie: 在這個(gè)句子中，意思是她應(yīng)該努力學(xué)習(xí)，雖然結(jié)果卻還過得去。

　　Jennifer: Yes, that’s right.

　　Jennifer: 是，就是這樣。

　　Robbie: Okay. So, if I say “the students would love to get away with skipping school.” It means to skip school and not get caught, right?

　　Robbie: 好，那么，如果我說“學(xué)生就愛逃課。“get away with”的意思就是逃學(xué)沒被捉住，是嗎?

　　Jennifer: You have used it correctly, but don’t ever encourage children to skip school!

　　Jennifer: 句子是對的，但是不要鼓勵(lì)孩子們逃課!

　　Robbie: I would never! Okay, now I will give you another example. Do you think he could get away with using cheap gas in his car?

　　Robbie: 我才不會!好了， 我給你舉一些別的例子。你覺得他能湊合著用廉價(jià)燃?xì)鈫?

　　Jennifer: That’s a good example. My guess is that he couldn’t!

　　Jennifer: 例子舉得好，我猜不行!

　　Robbie: Yeah! Okay, now let’s watch some conversations with more examples.

　　Robbie: 對哦!好了，我們來看看一些有更多例子的對話吧。
