练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

cheer + someone + up; cheer up (= feel happier); Cheer up!

  • Cheer up! One bad exam result doesn't mean you'll fail the whole course.
  • Our manager ordered pizza on Friday afternoon to cheer everyone up after a hard week.
  • She cheered up a lot when she heard that her visa had been approved.

修改原因

修改前Don't hang your nose! You'll pass the test next time.

修改后Cheer up! You'll pass the test next time.

Hang your nose 不是这里自然的英语表达,听者很难理解鼻子与心情有什么关系。鼓励难过的人,可以说 Cheer up! 如果想使用形象说法,也有 Keep your chin up,字面是抬起下巴。

Cambridge Dictionary

不带 up 的 cheer 通常指大声欢呼、表示支持或赞赏:The audience cheered when the band came on stage。Cheer someone on 是为比赛或表演中的人加油:We cheered on the runners along the route。
