大家都知道know是动词"知道,了解"的意思,今天我翻阅字典,无意之中,发现它还可以作名词:
(1) in the know: having more information about something than most people知情的,熟知内情的
People in the know say that interest rates will have to rise again soon.
知情人士说,利率将很快再次上升。
(2) know-how: knowledge, practical ability, or skill to do something 知识,实用技能,窍门
those who have the know-how to exploit the technology to the fullest 那些掌握了实用技能,把技术发挥到最大限度的人
No other company had the technical know-how to deal with the disaster.
其他公司都不具备应对这一灾难所必须的技术知识。
(3) know-it-all: someone who behaves as if they know everything 自以为无所不在的人
Remember, pretending to be know-it-all will bring troubles.
切记,不懂装懂会带来麻烦的。
