这周刚好学到一些位置词,今天就聊聊一下behind这个词。
我们都知道behind表示位置“在…后”,例如,He's hiding behind a tree. They played football on the lawn behind the house. 这是这个词的基本含义。除此之外,分享这个词的另外几个生动表达。
1 支持,作为后盾
孟晚舟 has the whole nation BEHIND her.
You can lick him. Don't run away. We're all BEHIND you.
2 蹲监狱,吃牢饭 BEHIND bars
The police put him BEHIND bars for theft.
He spent 10 years BEHIND bars.
bars是指牢房铁窗上的铁棒。
3 开车,掌舵,当家做主 BEHIND the wheel
Who'll sit BEHIND the wheel today?
The son was chosen to sit BEHIND the wheel after his father's death.
wheel即steering wheel,方向盘。坐方向盘后边就意味着当司机,引申为“控制、掌控”的意思。
4 BEHIND sb's back 偷偷摸摸、不光明正大
They gossiped about me BEHIND my back.
学了这个behind,以后可别只会用它表示位置哦。
