【摩登家庭】“望风”英语怎么说？

【句子】Keep the lookout. 【Modern Family S3E2】 【发音】/kiːp/ /ðə/ /ˈlʊk.aʊt/【发音技巧】keep the不完全爆破；【翻译】给我望个风。/小心提防着点。【适用场合】其实说到lookout这个名词，你会想到，英语里Look out!是个动词短语，表示：小心啊！注意啊！用法类似Watch out! 经常单独自己成句。那么lookout连起来名词是个什么意思呢？n. 把守望风的人；瞭望台；提防，小心注意；我们今天重点学习两个相关表达：keep a lookout for sb./sth.口语中使用，表示仔细观察某个人/某个事物以避免危险；或者仔细观察某个人/某个事物以获取想要的东西；(informal) to watch carefully for sb./sth. in order to avoid danger, etc. or in order to find sth. you want: eg: He failed to keep a proper lookout that night.那天晚上他没能好好望风。eg: Keep a lookout for that nasty little organization.小心那个无良的小机构。eg: We were instructed to keep a lookout for enemy aircraft.我们被要求密切留意敌方的飞机。如果在lookout前面加上形容词sharp，什么意思呢？keep a sharp lookout for = watch extra carefully格外认真注意某人/某物；格外注意；格外小心仔细某人/某物；eg: When you’re driving, keep a sharp lookout for cyclists.当你开车的时候，要格外当心骑自行车的那些人。eg: They should be arriving any minute, so keep a sharp lookout.他们随时可能会来，所以格外留意着点。像在今天视频中，有具体上下文，你把a换成the也能理解。在口语中你也可以说be on the lookout for sb./sth.意思一样。to be watching carefully in order to find, obtain, or avoid someone or somethingeg: The public should be on the lookout for symptoms of the disease.公众应该小心留意这种病的症状。eg: Police in New York are on the lookout for a gang of car thieves.纽约警方正在密切留意一伙偷车贼的行踪。eg: Be on the lookout for signs of a storm.小心留意着风暴到来的迹象。eg: Be on the lookout for my email in the next few days.
