（六）短语动词

I． 要点

英语中有许多短语动词在意义上是一个整体，其用法有的相当于及物动词，有的相当于不及物动词，有的兼有及物动词和不及物动词的特征。英语短语动词的构成主要有以下六种：

（１） 动词＋介词

常见的有look for, look after, send for, care about, ask for, laugh at, hear of (from), add to, lead to等。这类短语动词的宾语只能放在介词后。如：

Don't laugh at others.

I didn't care about it.

（２） 动词＋副词

常见的有give up, pick up, think over, find out, hand in, point out等。这类短语动词的宾语如果是名词，既可放在副词前边，又可放在副词后边；宾语如果是人称代词或反身代词，则要放在副词前边。如：

You'll hand in your homework tomorrow.

Please don't forget to hand it in.

（３） 动词＋副词＋介词

常见的有look down upon, go on with, break away from, add up to, catch up with等。这类短语动词的宾语只能放在介词后边。如：

All his money added up to no more than $100.

After a short rest, he went on with his research work.

（４） 动词＋名词＋介词

常见的有take care of, make use of, pay attention to, make fun of 等。这类短语动词的宾语只能放在介词后边。如：

You should pay attention to your handwriting.

We should make full use of our time.

（５） 动词＋形容词

常见的有leave open, set free, cut open等。这类短语动词的宾语如果是名词，则宾语可放在形容词的前边，也可放在后边；宾语如果是人称代词或反身代词，则必须放在形容词前边。如：

The prisoners were set free.

He cut it open.

（６） 动词＋名词

常见的有take place, make friends等。这类短语动词用作不及物动词。如：

This story took place three years ago.

I make friends with a lot of people.

（7）辨析

give away(让给，暴露) 和 give up（放弃，停止）

put away（放起，收起） 和 put out （扑灭）

turn up（出席，放大） 和 turn on （打开）

keep out（阻止） 和 keep off （不让靠近）

make up（编造，补上） 和 make out（辨认）
