do the laundry / do your laundry; do the washing (BrE); a load of laundry; hang out / fold the laundry
- I do the laundry on Sunday evenings so I have clean shirts for work.
- Our hostel had a washing machine, so we did our laundry before moving on to Rome.
- My flatmate never does his laundry, and his clothes are all over the bathroom floor.
修改原因
修改前I still have two laundries to do tonight.
修改后I still have two loads of laundry to do tonight.
想计算洗几次,容易直接给 laundry 加 s,写成 two laundries。但 laundry 表示待洗衣物或洗衣这件事时不可数,laundries 则可以指洗衣服务商。按洗衣机的批次计数,要说 one load、two loads of laundry。
Laundry 也可以指衣物本身:hang out the laundry、fold the laundry。自助洗衣店在英式英语中叫 laundrette,在美式英语中叫 laundromat:Our washing machine broke, so I did the laundry at the laundrette。
动手练习
It's my turn to ___ the laundry tonight, so I'll put a wash on after dinner.
查看答案
do — Laundry 与 do 搭配,类似 do the dishes 或 do the cleaning,不说 make the laundry。Make 通常涉及制作或准备某物,而洗衣服是日常家务。家务搭配中需要另记的一个例子是 make the bed。
描述家里通常怎样安排洗衣服:谁负责,以及一般在哪一天洗。
I do the laundry myself, usually on Saturday mornings before the rest of the family wakes up.
