It's up to you 是什么意思?和 it depends on you 有何不同?

It's up to you 表示由你决定,把选择交给对方。It depends on you 也能译得很相近,为什么选电影时却可能听起来像把结果压在对方身上?

It's up to you 表示“你决定”或“看你喜欢”。当两种选择都无所谓,或决定权确实属于对方时,可以用它把选择交给对方。It's up to + 人 + to + 动词 也能说明谁负责某事:It's up to the teacher to check the tests。

开始学习

It's up to you.; it's up to + person + to + verb; it's up to you + what/where/whether + clause

  • 'Pizza or sushi tonight?' 'It's up to you, I'm happy with either.'
  • It's up to the team leader to decide who works on the new project.
  • You can pay the deposit now or next week; it's entirely up to you.

修改原因

修改前'Should we take the train or the bus?' 'It depends on you.'

修改后'Should we take the train or the bus?' 'It's up to you.'

It depends on you 看起来意思接近,但它强调结果取决于这个人,其他人可能在指望他。让对方在火车与公交之间任选,用 It's up to you 更自然。修改时问题不变,只换了回答。

Cambridge Dictionary

不要和 What are you up to? 混淆,这个问题是在问正在做什么或打算做什么:What are you up to this weekend? 与数字搭配时,up to 可以表示最多:The hall holds up to 200 people。

动手练习

'Which film shall we watch tonight?' 'I've seen them all, so ___.'

(it's up to you / it depends on you)

查看答案

it's up to you — 说话者所有电影都看过,无所谓选哪一部,因此把选择交给对方:it's up to you。It depends on you 会更像是在说某个结果取决于对方。

同事问你这周什么时候方便通话。用 it's up to you 回复,并给出两天可以安排的时间。
