练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

put aside + money/time (for + purpose); put it aside; put aside + differences/feelings

  • My parents put aside part of their salary every month for my university fees.
  • Let's put our differences aside and focus on finishing the project.
  • Try to put aside twenty minutes every evening for reading in English.

修改原因

修改前Every month I put off some money for my summer holiday.

修改后Every month I put aside some money for my summer holiday.

Put off 和 put aside 看起来接近,意思却不同。Put off 表示推迟,例如 put off a meeting;put aside 则是为某个目的留出钱或时间。原句说每月存钱,因此把 off 改成 aside。

Cambridge Dictionary

Put away 也能表示存钱,但更常见的意思是把东西收回原处,例如 put away the dishes。暂时放下分歧或不快时,用 put aside:They put aside their differences and signed the deal。
