在《片语动词》一文里,提到片语动词可带宾语,但也有些不带宾语,可带宾语的两个动词可分开,不带宾语的不可分开;不带宾语的意思转变时,便可能带宾语,如:
① The weather turned out(证明是) fine.(不带宾语)
② That factory turns out(制造) high-precision instruments.(带宾语)
有宾语的片语动词等于及物动词(transitive verbs),没宾语的就是不及物动词(intransitive verbs)。
接下来,要多举些可分开的片语动词,让大家参考,希望看后遵循着同样的路向,尽量补充这类惯用语,以丰富常用词汇,加强讲写能力。
