练习 1
Polly: Philip, have you been talking me my back again?
Philip: How about for a walk together so we can talk this issue?
Polly: I’m to leave, so no. Also I don’t like anything you.
Philip: How about for a walk together so we can talk this issue?
Polly: I’m to leave, so no. Also I don’t like anything you.
Polly: Philip, have you been talking about 1 me behind 2 my back again?
Philip: How about going 3 for a walk together so we can talk about 4 this issue?
Polly: I’m about 5 to leave, so no. Also I don’t like anything about 6 you.
Philip: How about going 3 for a walk together so we can talk about 4 this issue?
Polly: I’m about 5 to leave, so no. Also I don’t like anything about 6 you.
1 about: 'To talk about' someone is to discuss them or say things relating to them. Another example: 'Why are you guys always talking about Pete? It's like you're obsessed with him!'.
1 around: We cannot 'talk around' someone in English. However, we can 'talk around a subject', meaning that we avoid mentioning it directly. For example: 'If they mention the radioactive fish we serve, try to talk around the subject'.
1 behind: We do not generally 'talk behind' someone in English, although we can talk, or do something, 'behind someone's back' (without them knowing). 'Behind' refers to a position to the rear of something. For example: 'The cinema is behind the town hall'.
2 behind: 'To talk about someone behind their back' means to discuss them without them knowing, or when they are not present. This idiom generally implies that negative or unpleasant things were said. For example: 'Flora is always friendly to me in person, but I'm sure she talks about me behind my back'.
2 around: We do not use 'around' in this idiom. 'Around' describes movement along the edge or perimeter of something. For example: 'We walked all the way around the concert hall, but couldn't find the entrance'.
2 about: 'About' does not make sense at this point in the sentence. Polly could say 'Have you been talking about my back again?' (Have you been discussing the part of my body on the opposite side to my chest?), but that would be a rather unusual sentence.
3 going: The phrase 'How about', when used to make a suggestion, is generally followed by the '-ing' form of the verb. Another example: 'How about cooking a nice dinner together?'.
3 to go: We never use the infinitive form of the verb after 'how about'.
3 go: We cannot use this form of the verb here. In spoken English, it would be possible to say 'How about we go for a walk?'. However, the '-ing' form is more common and more correct.
4 about: 'To talk about' something is to discuss it. Philip is suggesting that he and Polly have a conversation regarding her complaint. Another example: 'You seem upset. Do you want to talk about what happened?'.
4 around: 'To talk around' a subject is to avoid mentioning it directly. For example: 'I wanted to discuss the divorce, but my father just talked around the subject all evening'. Philip is very unlikely to be suggesting this, and much more likely to suggest to Polly that they discuss the issue that she is referring to.
4 from: We cannot 'talk from' an issue or topic in English. However, we can 'talk from the heart', which means to express oneself with emotional honesty and authenticity.
5 about: If someone is 'about to' do something, then they plan to do it immediately, or very soon. For example: 'That man is about to jump off that bridge! Somebody stop him!'.
5 off: We cannot use 'off' in this sentence. However, if we removed the verb 'to leave', Polly could simply say 'I'm off', which is a colloquial way of saying 'I'm leaving'. For example: 'I've had enough of this film. I'm off.'
5 around: We cannot use 'around' in this sentence. If someone is 'around', it means that they are somewhere nearby, but we don't know exactly where. For example: -Have you seen Jean anywhere? -He's around, somewhere in the office.
6 about: When Polly says 'I don't like anything about you', it means that there is no aspect of Philip's personality which she finds pleasing. 'About' in this context means 'concerning' or 'relating to'. Another example: 'I'm fascinated by you. I want to know everything about you.'
6 of: We cannot use 'of' in this sentence: it doesn't work after the word 'anything'. However, Polly could say 'I don't like any part of you' or 'I don't like any aspect of you'.
6 from: It doesn't make sense to use 'from' in this sentence. We might say 'I don't believe anything that comes from Philip', meaning 'I don't believe anything that Philip says or writes'.
