故事梗概
在这一集中, Monica和Chandler在整理东西,准备搬家。Ross和Joey也过采帮忙打理。可是,Boys will be boys。他们仍童心未泯,边整理,边玩闹,Joey还把泡沫塑料包在头上,让Chandler和Ross练拳击。Monica很生气,于是她让哥哥Ross负责管理着他们,好好收拾东西。而Ross一脸严肃地答应下来,但当Monica一离开, 他却出了一个更馊的主意……
Monica:Rachel's party is in couple of hours.There's a lot to do!Now,Ross,you got Geller blood!You are in charge of the other jossers!
Ross:You got it! Alright.She's right. We got to get serious.Let's put some peanuts down into his pants and kick him!
Chandler:No no no, guys. She's right.We should get to work.I'll take out the closet,Joey,you pack up them and Ross repack whatever Joey packs.
讲解
sb.is in charge of sth.的意思是“某人负责,管理,领导某事”
(being the person who has control of or is responsible for someone or something)例如:
Who are thc people in chargc here?(谁是这儿的负责人?)
He is the security agent in charge at the airport.(他是机场保安部的负责人。)
You’re in charge of seeing off the visiting professor at the airport.(你负责到机场给这个客座教授送行。)
反过来说,sth.is in/under the charge of sb.就是“某事在某人负责的范围之内,由某人负责,管理”(表被动意思)。比如,刚才那个句子就变成:The proIect is in the charge of Tom.
(这个项目由Tom负责。)
假设快餐店KFC说:Due to the anniversary all the fast food today is free of charge.那意思是说“因为周年庆,今天所有快餐免费。”所以“flee of charge”的意思就是“免费的,不收钱”。
表示“收费”含义的动词短语是charge(sbt)(money)for sth.(要价,收某人费用)
例如:Do you charge children for the public transport or do they go flee of charge.?
(小孩乘车是收费的,还是免费的?)
The local museum doesn’t charge for admission.
(地方博物馆是免费的。)
假如是你请客,而不是AA制(go Dutch),你就可以很酷地甩出一句:It’s my trcat.Charge the bill to nay account,please.(我请客。记到我的账上。)所以,charge sth.to sb’s account 的意思就是“把某物的花费记在某人的账上。”
charge的另外一个意思是“指控,控告,指责”。
accuse和charge都有这个意思,但其固定搭配中介词不同:chargc sb. with(doing)sth.(指控某人犯了某事)或accuse sb .of doing sth.
例如,The police charged him with robbery.
(警方以抢劫罪指控他。)
She was accused of using the company’s money for her own purposes.
(她因挪用公司的钱财来谋私利而遭到控告。)
你在生活中注意到“可充电电池”的英文是怎么说的吗?即rechargeable battery(可再充电电池)。还有,我们常说的“要不断给自己充电”中的“充电”也是recharge。
