Turn off 是什么意思?关闭设备或水龙头,也可以驶离道路

Turn off 表示关闭,也可以表示驶离一条路。关掉通知时,把 notifications 换成 them,原来的词序却不行了:代词该放哪里?

Turn off 表示关灯、电视、水或暖气,也可以表示从一条路转到另一条路:turn off the motorway。所关闭的东西如果用代词表示,要放在中间:turn it off。

开始学习

turn off + light/TV/tap; turn + it/them + off; turn off + road/motorway

  • Please turn off your phones before the exam starts.
  • Don't forget to turn the heating off when you leave the office.

修改原因

修改前Don't forget to close the tap when you finish washing up.

修改后Don't forget to turn off the tap when you finish washing up.

Close the tap 可以理解,也会出现在具体语境中,但日常说关掉水龙头,turn off the tap 更常见。水、煤气、暖气和灯都能使用 turn off;close 则常用于门、窗或商店。这里改成更常用的搭配。

Cambridge Dictionary

Turn off 表示完全关闭,turn down 则只是调低音量、暖气或亮度。音乐影响交谈时可以 turn it down;如果已经没人听,就 turn it off:Turn the radio off, nobody's listening。

动手练习
