Catch up 可以表示追上前面的人,或补上落下的学习、工作;catch up on sleep 则是补觉。它还可以表示隔了一段时间后见面、交流近况:Let's meet and catch up。

catch up with + person; catch up on + work/sleep/news; catch up over + coffee/dinner
- I missed two weeks of classes, so I need to catch up on the reading.
- We hadn't seen each other since university, so we met for dinner to catch up.
- Walk a bit slower so that your little brother can catch up with us.
修改原因
修改前I was ill for a week, so now I have to catch up the lessons I missed.
修改后I was ill for a week, so now I have to catch up on the lessons I missed.
这里容易漏掉介词。Catch up 后面说明补上什么内容时,要用 on:catch up on the lessons、catch up on sleep。
Catch up 表示已经落后,现在正缩小差距。Keep up with 则是始终跟上节奏,不先掉队:It's hard to keep up with the new material。如果已经落下,就需要 catch up。
动手练习
Alex is already far ahead of us. Let's walk faster to ___ him.
查看答案
catch up with — 目标是追上一个人,因此用 with:catch up with him。On 后面接落下的工作、睡眠等内容,不接这里要追赶的人。
想一件最近错过或落下的事,例如课程、工作任务或新闻。说明具体需要补上什么,以及什么时候完成。
I missed three French lessons last week, so I'll catch up on the grammar exercises this Sunday.
