Table, ice, duck, flag... 这些简单的英语单词,它们的名词意义就算对初学英语者来说也一定是小菜一碟,但老外经常把它们当做动词用,它们的动词意义和用法你知道吗?

1. table:名词,桌子;当动词用,是指开会时延期讨论提案等,也就是暂缓审议。(to postpone discussion of a bill or suggestion until future time); 例如:

They tabled the motion at the meeting.

I made the motion and he seconded it.(我提案,他同意。) (second 这里是动词,意思是赞成;to second the motion 也就是附议)

We are tabling this matter until further notice.(我们延期讨论这件事,以后再说。)

2. pride:名词,荣誉;当动词用,是指感到得意或自豪。(to take pride in something)例如:

We prided ourselves on our good work. (我们为自己工作的表现而自豪。)

I have long prided myself on being a good teacher. (我一向以身为一名称职的老师??而自豪。)

注意:to pride oneself on和 to be proud of 或 to take pride in 意思相近,只是用法和后面所跟的介词不同而已。例如:

They take great pride in her daughter who is now a famous scientist.

I am very proud of being a Chinese.

3. carpet:名词,地毯;当动词用,是覆盖的意思 。(to cover something) 例如:

The flower girls carpeted the floor with rose petals before the bride's entrance. (新娘进来前,花童将玫瑰花瓣撒满了地板。)

During the winter time my roof is carpeted with white snow. (冬天时我家的屋顶盖满了白雪。)

4. floor:名词,地板;当动词用,是踩足汽车的油门,加速开车或使人惊讶。 (to press accelerator of a car to the floor in order to speed up; or to astonish someone) 例如:

As soon as I saw his gun, I floored my car. (我一见到他有枪,立即踩足油门加速开车。)

When you see a police car, don't floor it. (当你看到警车时,?e开快车。)

The news really floored me; I hadn't been expecting it at all. (这个消息真使我吃惊地不知所措,这完全出乎我地意料。)

5. top:名词,顶端;做动词用,是做得更好,或高过某人。 (to do something better or to be taller than someone) 例如:

If he had tried harder, he could have topped his class. (假如他以前用功些,他会在班里(成绩)名列前茅的。)

The tax-cut issue will top today's agenda. (减税问题将是今天的主要议题。)

Mr. Lin tops me by three inches. (林先生比我高三??

6. flag:名词,旗帜;当动词用,是指打旗号或做手势来传达讯息。 (to give signal for communication) 例如:

When my car broke down, I flagged a police car. (当我的汽车抛锚的时候,我打了个信号招来一辆警车。)
