這周剛好學到一些位置詞,今天就聊聊一下behind這個詞。
我們都知道behind表示位置“在…後”,例如,He's hiding behind a tree. They played football on the lawn behind the house. 這是這個詞的基本含義。除此之外,分享這個詞的另外幾個生動表達。
1 支持,作為後盾
孟晚舟 has the whole nation BEHIND her.
You can lick him. Don't run away. We're all BEHIND you.
2 蹲監獄,吃牢飯 BEHIND bars
The police put him BEHIND bars for theft.
He spent 10 years BEHIND bars.
bars是指牢房鐵窗上的鐵棒。
3 開車,掌舵,當家做主 BEHIND the wheel
Who'll sit BEHIND the wheel today?
The son was chosen to sit BEHIND the wheel after his father's death.
wheel即steering wheel,方向盤。坐方向盤後邊就意味著當司機,引申為“控制、掌控”的意思。
4 BEHIND sb's back 偷偷摸摸、不光明正大
They gossiped about me BEHIND my back.
學了這個behind,以後可別只會用它表示位置哦。
