談論成語動詞的美國英語情景口語對話二A: I hadn't finished telling you about two-word verbs, Bob.
B: Do I have to hear more? I'm not sure I can follow it.
A: Sure you can. This part is the most interesting.
B: Okay. Go ahead.
A: Well, here are sentences with two-word verbs with objects:
I can't get over
I can't get it over
I can't get over it
I can't get him over it
They all mean different things
B: Can you explain how they're different?
A: Each part or both parts of the two-word verb can have an object. The verb may have different meanings with different objects, or different arrangements of object. Is that clear? You look confused.
B: I'm not confused, I was just thinking.
A：鮑勃，關於成語動詞，我還沒有對你講完。
B：我還需要聽你講嗎?我不知道是否能理解。
A：你當然能理解。這一部分是最有意思的。
B：好，說吧。
A：嗯，下列這些句子裡的成語動詞有賓語：
I can't get over
I can't get it over
I can't get over it
I can't get him over it
這些句子的意思都不相同。
B：你能否解釋一下怎麼不同?
A：成語動詞的每個部分或兩個部分可以有一個賓語。動詞加上不同的賓語或賓語的不同組合，就可以有不同的含意。清楚了嗎?你好像弄糊塗了。
B：我沒有糊塗。我只是在思考。
