如果听到老外跟你说一句:I'll send you home,你知道是什么意思吗? 如果把send you home理解为“送你回家”,可就有些自作多情啦,人家才不会送你呢~因为send you home的正确意思是“让你回家”。还是来看一下权威的解释:
If you send someone somewhere, you tell them to go there.Paul was trying to explain but his girl friend became impatient and sent him away (= told him to leave). 虽然保罗试图解释,但他女友有些不耐烦了,就把他打发走了。Jason came up to see her, but she sent him home. 在美剧《摩登家庭》中,医生和Claire对话时,就用到了这个表达:Doctor: Blood pressure's still good. I think I can send you home. Claire: Great. So it was probably just low blood sugar or something? I can drive you home. Would you like a ride? If he asks if he can walk you home, you must tell him yes. 关于“送你回家”的准确含义 你记住了吗? 全部掌握的同学
