take off的三种用法

take off的三种用法

Kee

Hi, this is Kee from BBC Learning English. Today, I’m going to tell

you three different ways of using the phrasal verb take off.

First, we use take off to describe removing clothing.

It's really hot here, so I'm going to take off my jumper.

You can also separate take and off and say "take my

jumper off".

Second, we use take off to describe something becoming

successful.

I'm going to be rich. My business has taken off.

Third, we use take off to describe not going to work.

I'm going to take a day off work tomorrow.

So, we can say take off my jumper, or take my juper off, my

business has taken off, and lastly take a day off.

用法总结

'Take off' is a phrasal verb. This means it is a verb (take) followed

by a particle (off). Phrasal verbs are tricky because they can have

many different meanings depending on the context.

take off是一个动词短语，它由动词 take 和小品词off组成。动词短语的用法较难，因为它们的意思可能会随着语境的变化而发生改变。

separable. This means that the item of clothing can go between

the verb and the particle.
