Put together 是什么意思?组装衣柜为何不用 collect?

Put together 可以组装家具,也可以筹备演示或活动。Collect the wardrobe 常让人想到去取衣柜;经理说 put together a presentation,又要你做什么?

Put together 表示把零件组合起来,例如组装家具或模型,也可以表示准备、组织计划、团队或报告。第二种用法适合把不同元素整合成新成果,例如 put together a menu、put together a team。

想在对话中用 put together 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

put together + noun / put + noun + together; put it together; noun + put together (= combined)

  • It took us all Saturday to put the new bookcase together.
  • Our team put together a short video to present the project to investors.

修改原因

修改前It took us three hours to collect the new wardrobe.

修改后It took us three hours to put together the new wardrobe.

Collect 可以表示收集,例如 collect stamps、collect data,也可以表示去领取:collect a parcel。因此 collect the new wardrobe 容易被理解为从商店取走新衣柜。把部件装成衣柜,要用 put together 或 assemble。收集物品与组装物品在英语中用不同的表达。

Cambridge Dictionary

放在名词之后,put together 可以表示合计:Our team sold more than the other two teams put together。不要与 get together 混淆,后者说的是人们相聚:Let's get together on Friday。

动手练习

Our manager asked me to ___ a short presentation for Monday's meeting.

(put together / collect)
