詳細用法
此處的pick為名詞“挑選、選擇”之意,等同於choice,為不可數名詞 。
take your pick,動詞短語,它的英文釋義是:If you are told to take your pick, you can choose any one that you like from a group of things.如果你被告知“take your pick”,那就代表你可以從一堆東西里任意挑選你所喜愛的。
所以,take your pick,也即它所包含的短語結構take one's pick的含義是:(從可選擇的不同東西里)任意挑選、隨便挑(一個或一個以上的東西)
take your pick的使用前提,是眼前有不同的、可選擇的兩個或多個選項,比如小視頻1中,供選擇的不同選項有“I know how to fence and you don't.”和“I have class and you don't.”,小視頻2中提供的選項有“me”和“them”,小視頻3中給出的選擇是“drugs”“kidnapping”和“prostitution”。
例句1:The real reason that people have trouble in taking their pick is because they are poor.人們有選擇困難症的真正原因,是窮。
例句2:Don't keep me waiting one more time, or just stand me up and break up with me. Take your pick.要麼,以後都別讓我等著你(以後赴約都要守時);要麼,你乾脆爽約別來了,直接分手。你選吧。
take one's pick有一個相似的同義短語,那就是have one's pick,它同樣表示在諸多選項裡進行“隨意挑選”。
例句3:The shirts come in five different colors, just take/have your pick.這種襯衣有5種不同的顏色,你隨便挑吧。:
take one's pick of sth,“隨意選擇某物、從某物中隨意選擇”,這裡的“某物”sth為複數形式的名詞,因為take one's pick是從“多”選一,或是從“多”選多,所以sth為複數。
例句4:You can't take your pick of parents but lifestyles.你無法選擇自己的出身,卻可以決定自己的人生。
例句5:You'll have your pick of sofa beds and you can have some rest, but you just have to put it together yourself.你可以選擇自己喜愛的沙發床,好好放鬆休息,只是你得自己組裝好。
例句6:If it's hard to take your pick of these, take your time.如果很難挑,那就慢慢挑。
