off关不了怎么办(off让你脱离原来的状态)

off的基本含义是“离开,离开”,生活中类似的经历也不少,比如下面的例子:

off关不了怎么办(off让你脱离原来的状态)(1)

(1) Get your feet off my couch.把你的脚从我的沙发上拿开。(脚与沙发分离)

(2) Why are all of the lids off the paint cans?为什么这些颜料筒都没盖上盖?(盖子与颜料筒分离)

3) I finally take his picture off the wal.最后我还是把他的照片从墙上摘了下来。(照片与墙脱离)

4) James couldn' t get the ring off his finger. James没办法把戒指从手上取下来。(我指与手指脱离)

(5) The other driver forced my car off the road.另一个人开车把我的车挤出了车道。(车与道路脱离)

(6) Betty gets a wet sponge and starts cleaning the blood off the且oo.贝蒂拿了一块湿海绵开始清理地板上的血迹。(血与地板脱离)

在上面的例子中,“off”是用来表达具体意义的,但更多的时候,尤其是与动词组合成短语时,它是用来表达抽象意义的。

在这种情况下,“关闭”所隐含的意象可以表示为“事物脱离了它原来的位置或状态”。

(1) She clears off a space next to her on the bed.她在床上靠近她的地方清理出一块空地。(脱离原来杂乱的状态)

(2) She stares off into space, thinking.她凝望着太空,遐想着。(目光脱离原来的位置,此处如果不用Of只说 stare into的话也可以,但就表达不出远望的感觉)

(3)How am I supposed to pull off a formal dinner with no warning?

我怎样才能在不打招呼的情况下做一顿像样的晚餐? (pull off的意思是“试图达到”,这句话有很强的隐喻意义,我们可以直译为“强行脱掉因为湿透而粘在身上的衣服”,意思是“很难做某事” ")

(4) I'm dozing off during the day.我白天一直打瞌睡。(doae已经是瞌睡的意思,但加上之后就强调了人的精神已经脱离了原先的状态)

(5) This news has taken a load off my mind.听了这个好消息我就放心了。(心事不在了)

(6) Monetary compensation? You're trying to buy us off?经济赔偿?

你想花钱摆平?(让我们不再计较此事)

(7) It pissed me off.这事真让我生气。(原来心平气和,现在生气了,原先的状态不在)

(8) I think my tranquilizer is wearing off.我想镇静剂正在失去效用。(从有效到无效,失去了原来的作用)

(9) It just kind of caught me off guard.这让我有点失去警觉。

(10) Get your hands off me.把你的手拿开。

你可能认为 off 动词的使用更复杂,更难掌握。 其实,如果去掉这些动词,虽然不如原句生动,但基本意思还是可以表达出来的。 让我们把上面的例子改成如下:

(1)Her sight is off into space, thinking.

(2)I'm sleepy and my mind is off the work during the day.

(3)Monetary compensation? You want us to be off the issue.

(4)It made me off the good mood.

(5)I think my tranquilizer is off the effect.

以上改动的目的是让大家意识到off这个词本身就有完整的含义,可以单独使用。

请看以下例句。

(1) Joe was clearly relieved to be off the topic of his ex-girlfriend

(2) He says he's been off cocaine for five months

(3)We're off.

(4)All the lights were off when I got home.

(5) Carol is off for the whole week.

(6)His wedding was still about six weeks off.

(7) Is the date off?
