(1)turn on 意为“把(水源、煤气、电源等)打开”,其反义短语为turn off “关闭”。例如:
It's too dark.please turn on the light.
太黑了,请打开灯。
He turned off the light when he left the room.
他离开房间时把灯关了。
(2)turn up 意为“(把收音机、电视等音量)调高”,其反义短语为turn down “调低”。另外turn up 还有“出现”的意思,turn down 还有“拒绝”的意思。例如:
She sat down and turned up the radio.
她坐下来并把收音机声音调大了。
The TV is too loud.Turn it down a little,please
电视声音太大了,请关小点儿。
『注意』在这些短语中,若跟代词,则应放在短语的中间;若跟名词,放在短语的中间或后面均可。例如:
I can't hear the radio clearly.Would you please turn it up?
我听不清收音机。你能把声音调大点儿吗?
Let's have a try.
谢谢!
