所以,我准备说点别的小知识,和买买买相关的,如下:
— buy —
英 /baɪ/, 美 /baɪ/,vt. 购买;买得起;获得;贿赂;相信;n. 购买;所购的物品;合算的东西
这个单词非常常见,和基本上所有可以买的东西都可以连用,有几种常用搭配如下:
1,buy sth↔in
(BrE) 大量购买
to buy sth in large quantities
2,buy into sth
①购买公司股份(尤指为取得部分控制权)
to buy shares in a company, especially in order to gain some control over it
②(informal) 信从(尤指随大溜)
to believe sth, especially an idea that many other people believe in
3,buy sb↔off
收买,贿赂(某人不干某事)
to pay sb money, especially dishonestly, to prevent them from doing sth you do not want them to do
4,buy sb↔out
买断…的股份;买下…的全部股权
to pay sb for their share in a business, usually in order to get total control of it for yourself
5,related noun buyout
付给补偿金,付遣散费(为使某人提前退役、离职等)

9,buy time

10,the best that money can buy

11,(buy) a pig in a poke

12,sell sb/buy a pup
(old-fashioned, BrE, informal) 卖给…(或买到)伪劣货to sell sb or be sold sth that has no value or is worth much less than the price paid
除了“buy”,还有另外两个词也可以表达“买”,区别如下:
1,buy v. 买,购买普通用词,既可指日常随意购物也可指购买大件物品,可后接双宾语。
例句:Where did you buy that book?那本书你是在哪里买的?
2,get v. 买,购买作此义解时较口语化,可与 buy 换用。
例句:Where did you get/buy that dress?你在哪里买的那条裙子?
3,purchase v. [正式]购买,购置词义同 buy,但更为正式,且不可后接双宾语。
例句:Have you purchased car insurance?你买车险了吗?
这里我还能想到的一个点是“剁手党”,如果你同时购买了太多的东西,那么我们就称之为剁手。
剁手可不是“cutting hands”这么简单,我们一般用chop off这个词组,而剁手党则是“hands-chopping people”。
— chop —
英 /tʃɒp/,美 /tʃɑːp/,v. 剁,砍,劈;大幅削减;强行废止,取消;削(球);n. (羊或猪)排;剁,砍,劈;掌劈;(人或动物)嘴周围的地方;碎浪;动物饲料;<古>商标
特别用法也有很多,如下:
1,chop (away) at sth
对准…砍去(或猛击)to aim blows at sth with a heavy sharp tool such as an axe
2,chop sth↔down
砍伐,伐倒(如树木)to make sth, such as a tree, fall by cutting it at the base with a sharp tool
3,chop sth↔off (sth)
砍掉;砍下;砍断to remove sth by cutting it with a sharp toolhop and change
4,chop and change
(BrE, informal) 变化无常;反复变换to keep changing your mind or what you are doing
5,get/be given the chop
①(of a person 人) 被解雇;被撤职to be dismissed from a job
②(of a plan, project, etc. 计划、工程等) 被砍去;被取消to be stopped or ended
6,be for the chop
①(of a person 人) 可能遭裁员to be likely to be dismissed from a job
②(of a plan, project, etc. 计划、工程等) 可能被取消(或终止)to be likely to be stopped or ended
7,not much chop
(AustralE, NZE, informal) 不算好的;不太有用的not very good or useful
那么chop和cut到底有什么区别,我们来看一下:
1,cut v. 切,割,砍最普通用词,指用带刃的工具进行切、割、砍等。
例句:The dead tree was cut down.这棵死树被砍倒了。
2,chop v. 劈,砍,剁指用工具将木头劈开或将蔬菜、肉等剁碎。
例句:He chopped up branches of the tree into firewood.他砍下树枝当柴火。
3,hew v. [文]砍,劈指使用切割工具砍、劈大的物体,如石头、树等。
例句:He was told not to hew down that ancient tree.他被告知不要砍倒那棵古树。
