很快,他们卖完了所有的橙子。
sell out “售空;卖光”,是“动词+副词”型短语,其用法如下:
sell + 名词 + out = sell out + 名词 sell + 代词 + out
e.g. They sold out all the watermelons and went home happily.
他们卖完了西瓜,开心地回家了。(人作主语)
The tickets sold out within hours. 几小时内票就卖光了。(物作主语)
sell out 无被动形式,但隐含被动含义。
当“sell out”表示“售罄”时,主动语态更常见,形式上虽为主动,但主语通常是物品本身,隐含被动含义。
在需要强调“被卖光”的动作时,可用被动语态 “be sold out”,但需注意这是非正式用法,语法上更严谨的表达是直接用主动语态。
