定义
to draw up (a contract): 起草，拟定
We will try to draw up a contract as soon as possible. 我们会尽快拟定出一份合同的。
This is an irregular verb:
I draw up / I drew up / I have drawn up
示例
- "The articles of incorporation were drawn up a long time ago."
- "Icarus : But sir, I've already drawn up the papers!"
练习 1
Icarus has already "drawn up the paperwork".
This means he has already the paperwork.
This means he has already the paperwork.
Icarus has already "drawn up the paperwork".
This means he has already prepared the paperwork.
This means he has already prepared the paperwork.
prepared: The phrasal verb to "draw up (a paper or a contract) means to "prepare" and 'put together" paperwork. Drawing up a contract may include defining its terms as well as finalizing the language. It is a preliminary step. Example: Before we can hire you, we must draw up a contract.
submitted: To "submit paperwork" is to officially "file" or "send" it. Icarus has not done this, he has simply prepared the documents to submit them in the future.
signed : To "draw up" a contract is to prepare the paperwork, but not to sign it. Signing a contract is generally the final step in negotiations.
applied for: To "apply for" something means to submit a demand or request for something. Example: I applied for admission into MIT University, but I never received a reply. To "apply for (a job)" does not share a similar meaning with to "draw up (a contract)".

This sentence uses "to contract" correctly. To "contract (a disease)" is to be infected with a disease, and become ill. In his email, Bob uses this construction to talk about "contracting a computer virus". Here's another example: "Thousands of people contract HIV every day".
This is a good choice. Something which is "contracted" has been "made shorter or smaller", or "reduced". We often talk about the "contracted form" of certain words. For example: "Roberto thinks that "weren't" is the contracted form of 'I am". He's not very good at English!
This sentence is correct. Here, "contract" is used as a noun to describe an official document representing an agreement between two or more parties. Another example: "I don't have a contract for my job because I'm an illegal immigrant and I work on the black market". To "draw up" a contract is to "write" it.
This is not a good choice. It would make more sense to say "you look very tense or stressed today".
