[要义详析]
短语动词是由动词加介词、副词或其他词构成的词组, 其作用和动词差不多。有些短语动词相当于及物动词, 有些则相当于不及物动词。
1.动词+介词(verb + preposition)
这类短语动词的宾语不论是名词还是人称代词, 都要放在短语动词的后面。例如:
*He wants to check with his secretary before he signs the paper.
在签署该项文件之前, 他想跟他的秘书商议一下。
*He has been asked to account for his absence.
他被要求说明缺席的原因。
*The murderer did not reckon on the policeman's finding the gun.
杀人犯没料到警察会发现那把枪。
*The marquis will succeed to the dukedom at his father's death.
在其父死后, 侯爵就将继承公爵的爵位。

①“不及物动词+介词”具有原来的字面含义, 或一种或者多种引申的意义。例如:
to go into the laboratory 进入实验室
to go into the figures carefully 仔细检查数字
to go into the question 调查这个问题
to go into that scheme 参与那项计划
to go into operation 开始运转
to go into a subject 研究某个题目
to come to a close 结束
to come to a decision 作出决定
to come to four million 达到四百万
to come to life 活跃起来
to come to a full stop 骤然停止
to come into use 开始被使用
to come into effect 生效, 实行
to come into being 形成, 产生
②有的短语动词却不能用被动语态, 如: consist of, serve as等。例如:
*It consists of more than 400 elements.
它包括超过400种元素。
2.动词+副词(verb + adverb)
这类短语动词, 有的相当于一个及物动词。例如:
to turn up the radio 把收音机(声音)调大
to turn up the soil 把地翻起
to take up water 吸水
to take up a new tool 拿起新工具
to take up this question 谈到这个问题
to take up space 占据空间
*They were so far away that I couldn't make out their faces clearly.
他们离得那么远, 我没法把他们的脸辨认清楚。

①此类短语动词一般都可以构成被动语态。例如:
*Trains stop here in order to pick up passengers only.
→Trains stop here in order that passengers are picked up only.
火车在这里停, 只是为了接送旅客。
②这类短语动词相当于及物动词时, 若宾语为名词, 一般既可放在短语动词之后, 也可放在动词和副词之间。若短语动词的直接宾语为代词, 则位于动词与副词之间。例如: to give it (指 heat) out 放出它(热量);
to keep them (指 the molecules) apart 使它们(分子)保持分离。
③某些表示及物的短语动词却具有自己的固定模式: 不允许随便将副词放在宾语之后(除非宾语为代词); 有时有的不允许随便将副词放在宾语之前。例如:
*They had given up hope. (√)
They had given hope up. (×)
他们已经放弃了希望。
3.动词+名词/代词+介词(verb + noun/pronoun + preposition)
(1)在这类结构中间的名词前有时可加冠词或形容词。例如:
take (an active) part in积极参加
put an end to结束; 终止
to take an interest in this problem 对该问题感兴趣
to play a role in machinebuilding industry在机械制造工业中起作用
to take care of production 负责管理生产
to keep somebody from smoking 阻止某人抽烟
to protect somebody from danger 保护某人免受危险
(2)这类短语动词常可用于被动语态, 并且可以有两种形式。例如:
*The heat in the center of the earth is being made use of in some countries.
=Use is being made of the heat in the center of the earth in some countries.
一些国家正在利用地球中心的热量。
*(Good) care was taken of the children.
=The children were taken (good) care of.
孩子们受到了很好的照顾。
(3)直接宾语可变为被动式短语动词的主语, 例如:
*He was accused of the crime by me.
我指控他犯了这一罪。
4.动词+副词+介词(verb+adverb+preposition)
(1)这类短语动词常用于被动语态。
*Have the court proceedings been checked up by the lawyers?
法庭程序已经由律师检查过了吗?
*There are some things that will not be put up with by teachers.
有些事情是老师们不会容忍的。
(2)有的动词+副词+介词要求跟直接宾语, 且其直接宾语可变为被动式短语动词的主语。例如:
*Can you possibly fix me up with your manager this week?
→Can I be possibly fixed up with your manager this week (by you)?
这星期你能安排我和你们经理见面吗?
*They were taking it out on one another because of their hopeless dissatisfaction.
→It was being taken out on one another because of their hopeless dissatisfaction (by them).
他们因为没有希望获得满足而彼此恶声恶气地拿对方泄怒。
