在《新概念英语》经典版第二册第67课的难点部分,出现了有关say引导的常用短语的用法,今天就来跟大家做个梳理分享。


一、教材中的短语(一)say something

该短语表示“说点什么”,在口语中主要用来建议或鼓励别人说话或发表意见,这时它往往会后接其他补充说明的成分,也可以独立成句。如:

Cut it out, will you? I want to say something to you. 停一下好吗?我要和你讲句话。

Give him a chance to say something about it. 让他说说这件事。

Don't just shrug your shoulders. Say something. 不要光耸肩。你讲讲话呀。

需要注意它在疑问句和否定句中的变形。如:

Did he say anthing about it? No, he didn't say anything/said nothing. 他有没有告诉你有关的任何事情?没有,他什么也没有说。
