Work out 可以表示理解或计算,也可以表示锻炼身体。宾语是问题、价格或原因时,它强调通过思考得到答案。谈一个人的运动习惯时,则指规律锻炼,通常是在健身房训练。

work out + how/what/why...; work out + the answer/total; work it out; work out (= exercise) at the gym
- I can't work out how to change the language settings on this phone.
- Let's work out how much each of us owes for dinner.
- He works out at the gym three times a week before his shift.
修改原因
修改前I spent an hour trying to work out with this maths problem.
修改后I spent an hour trying to work out this maths problem.
表示想明白问题时,work out 后面直接接要理解的内容:work out this problem。因为我们说 deal with a problem,with 看起来也很合理,但这里不需要它。Work out with 常会被理解为与某人或借助某物锻炼,例如 work out with a trainer。
Work out 后面没有宾语、主语是一个人时,常表示锻炼:She works out every morning。如果后面接要理解或计算的东西,就是另一种意思:She worked out the answer before anyone else。
动手练习
Nobody had a calculator, so Anna ___ the total in her head.
查看答案
worked out — Anna 在脑中完成加法,正是在计算,所以 worked out 准确。Found out 侧重得知一个事实,例如通过询问或阅读;它本身不突出这里的心算过程。
写一个你必须独立解决的日常问题。说明具体哪里不明白,以及花了多久才弄清楚。使用表示“想明白”的 work out。
It took me twenty minutes to work out how to connect the new printer to my laptop.
