Sort out 是什么意思?处理问题时不用再加 with

Sort out 表示处理问题或整理东西。它不像 deal with 那样需要 with;如果宾语是 it 或 them,还必须把代词放到中间。

Sort out 可以表示处理或解决问题、事项、误会,也可以表示整理衣柜、文件或事务。它在英式英语中尤其常见,可以用于账单错误、预订问题或与邻居的争执。

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

sort out + problem/booking/mess; sort it out; sort out + wardrobe/papers (= tidy)

  • The bank finally sorted out the problem with my card after three phone calls.
  • Could you sort out the hotel booking while I buy the train tickets?
  • I spent Sunday sorting out my wardrobe and gave three bags of clothes to charity.

修改原因

修改前Don't worry, I'll sort out with the booking tomorrow.

修改后Don't worry, I'll sort out the booking tomorrow.

Deal with 带有 with,因此容易把这个介词也加到 sort out 后面。但 sort out 直接接宾语:sort out the booking。宾语如果是代词,就放在中间:sort it out。

Cambridge Dictionary

Figure out 和 sort out 都可以涉及处理问题,但侧重点不同。Figure out 表示理解、想明白:I figured out why the laptop was so slow。Sort out 则表示把问题解决或把事情理顺:A technician sorted it out in ten minutes。

动手练习

There are old bills and letters all over my desk, so this weekend I'm going to ___ and throw away the rubbish.

(sort out them / sort them out)

查看答案

sort them out — 这里用代词 them 代替账单和信件,代词要放在动词和小品词之间:sort them out,不能说 sort out them。若宾语是名词,两种顺序都可以:sort out the papers 和 sort the papers out。

描述最近不得不处理的一个问题,可以与银行、快递、住处或工作有关。说明哪里出了问题,以及你怎样解决。

My parcel was sent to the wrong address, so I called the courier company and sorted it out in ten minutes.
