   5 推迟约会


  3句英文任你选
  I'm afraid I'll have to postpone 1 our appointment.
  恐怕我不得不将我们的约会延期。
  We've decided 2 to put it off.
  我们决定推迟约见。
  Something's come up. Can we make our appointment a little later?
  发生了一点事情,我们可不可以把约会推迟一下?
  半个句型要记牢
  put off (推迟,延期)
  Tip:
  表示"延期,推迟"有 postpone,delay, put off。三者均可表示将某事推迟到原定时间之后的某一时间进行,其后可接名词或动名词(但一般不接不定式)。为了表明推迟到何时,可用介词 to,till, until等。如: They delayed (postponed, put off) leaving. (他们推迟动身。)几点细微区别:
  (1) delay除表示推迟日期外,还可表示暂时阻挠或阻挡,因此有"耽搁"、"拖延"等意。
  (2) postpone和put off主要用于延期,两者常可换用,postpone是正式用语,语义较强,指"有意识地延至将来某一特定时间在多数情况下,后面会说明改在何时进行。
  (3) put off较通俗和口语化;但是put off有时以人作宾语,表示借辞推托或搪塞某人,推迟或取消与某人的约会,使某人不高兴或反感,打扰某人,让某人下车等,此时不宜用 postpone。如 He tried to put me off with more promises. (他想用更多的承诺来敷衍我。)

v.延期,推迟
  • I shall postpone making a decision till I learn full particulars.在未获悉详情之前我得从缓作出决定。
  • She decided to postpone the converastion for that evening.她决定当天晚上把谈话搁一搁。
adj.决定了的,坚决的;明显的,明确的
  • This gave them a decided advantage over their opponents.这使他们比对手具有明显的优势。
  • There is a decided difference between British and Chinese way of greeting.英国人和中国人打招呼的方式有很明显的区别。
