Hang up 是什么意思?挂电话与挂衣服,宾语位置有区别

Hang up 可以表示挂断电话,也可以表示挂起衣服。挂别人电话要说 hung up on me;漏掉 on,就像把人当衣服挂起来。

Hang up 表示结束通话,也表示把衣服挂在衣架或挂钩上。第一种意思常不带宾语:She said goodbye and hung up。第二种意思要说明挂什么:hang up your jacket。两种意思的过去式都是 hung up。

想在对话中用 hang up 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

hang up (the phone); hang up on + person; hang up + coat/clothes; hang it up

  • Before you hang up, could you send me the link to tomorrow's meeting?
  • Please hang up your coats in the hall, because the meeting room is quite small.

修改原因

修改前Wait, don't put the phone. I'll find the address now.

修改后Wait, don't hang up. I'll find the address now.

Put 后面需要说明放在哪里,因此 don't put the phone 听起来没说完。英式英语可以说 put the phone down,但简短自然的说法是 don't hang up。

Cambridge Dictionary

不要和 hang on 混淆:后者是让对方稍等、保持在线。Hang on a second, I'll get a pen 表示稍等片刻,而 hang up 表示结束通话。

动手练习

My brother was so angry that he ___ me in the middle of a sentence.

(hung up on / hung up)

查看答案

hung up on — 如果对方还在讲话,你就挂断电话,要用 hung up on:hung up on me。不加 on,会像在说把我当成外套挂起来。

描述一次让人烦恼的客服、银行或快递电话。说明谁挂断了电话,以及为什么。

The delivery service kept me on hold for twenty minutes, so I hung up and wrote to them in the chat instead.
