“knock”我们都知道有”敲,撞”的意思,”door”确实也有”门”的意思,所以很多小伙伴下意识就会把”knock the door”理解为“敲门”。 但是……错错错错!你要是对别人这么说的话,别人真的会报警的! 它的实际意思是破门而入,就是使劲砸门。那你瞬间不就成了入室抢劫嫌疑犯,可别怪邻居报警哦!那如果要表示礼貌性的敲门,需要加介词'on/at'。Please do not enter before knocking on the door.There was a light knock at the door. 那肯定会有小伙伴要问啦,'at'&'on'的区别在哪里呢?knock at 有一个固定搭配就是knock at the door 意思是敲门,其他搭配不常见,knock on 后面可以跟其他物品,意思是撞上什么。有人敲门,那自然需要有人应门,但这个短语并不是指嘴上说的回应哦~而是实实在在的去开门,开门迎客;应声开门。Eventually, somebody came to answer the door.Could you please answer the door for me? I'm not ready yet. 按字面意思来看,那就是给某人指了一扇门,往往只有在生气的时候会指着门让人离开吧~所以这句话意思就是要某人离开;下逐客令。When I told my bank that I wanted to borrow $100,000 they showed me the door.这个短语的实际意思是把门,守门(在戏院、夜总会等门口做检票等工作)。Do you think that there might be someone on the door at this party tonight? Man B: Yeah, we're going to pay a guy to be on the door to stop people coming in.
