今天给大家带来一小节关于“up”的小知识。说起 up 这个词，你肯定能想到 get up; What's up? Shut up; take up; jump up; live up; put up; turn up; hands up, etc... 经典的中式英语 Good Good Study Day Day Up 好 好 学 习 天 天 向 上 看不了咱就听听  稍微缓冲一下下听啦 呱~ 在英语两个字母的单词中，也许意思最多的就是这个 up~ There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.' It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we get UP 醒来? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP 提出? Why do we speak UP 讲话 and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP 书写 a report? We call UP 打电话 our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is something special! And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP... When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........it is time to shut UP! Well . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U-P! 本文由“135编辑器”提供技术支持 还有以下三个有关 up 的短语值得注意：
