【知识点拨】
本期为大家讲解两个词:the covers和worry。
1. the covers是被子、毯子等床上用品的总称,可以包括:
被子:quilt - a bed cover made by sewing layers of cloth together, usually with different colors sewn together to make a design
毯子:blanket - a large square or rectangular piece of thick cloth, especially one that you put on a bed to keep you warm
床单:sheet - a large rectangular piece of cotton or other cloth that you sleep on or cover yourself with in a bed
床罩:counterpane/bedspread - decorative cover for a bed
其中,毯子(blanket)和床单(sheet)还常常被用于比喻,如:
这里的blanket是动词,表示“覆盖”。blanket的“覆盖”含义可以进一步引申为“适用于全体的”,如:
sheet的用法和blanket有些类似:
to sheet one's shyness 遮羞;sheeted dark clouds 大片乌云
2. worry表示“担心”,最常见用法是to worry about something和to worry+以that引导的从句
此外,还可以说It worries somebody that...
be worried about something和be worried that...的用法也十分常见,意思相近的用法还有be afraid that...等。
