Write down 是什么意思?记下来,不是报名

Write down 表示把信息记下来,以免忘记。报名课程要用 sign up for;write it down 中的 it 还必须放在两个词之间。

Write down 表示把内容写在纸上或笔记里,以免忘记,例如电话号码、地址、新单词或一个想法。听到或想到某件事,希望把它保存下来时,就可以用这个短语。宾语是代词时,要放在中间:write it down。

想在对话中用 write down 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

write down + word/number/idea; write it/them down; write down what/where + clause

  • I always write down new words with an example, because otherwise I forget them within a day.
  • The receptionist wrote down my phone number and promised to call if a place came up.
  • Before the meeting, write down the three questions you really need answered.

修改原因

修改前I wrote down for an English course that starts in October.

修改后I signed up for an English course that starts in October.

报名似乎也是把名字写进课程名单,但 write down 只表示记录信息。把自己加入参与者名单,要用 sign up for:signed up for a course。预约看医生也不是 write down,而是 make an appointment。

Cambridge Dictionary

不带 down 的 write 可以表示创作文本,例如 write an email、write an essay。Write down 强调把听到或看到的内容记下来,例如 write down the address。录音或录像用 record:I recorded the lecture on my phone。

动手练习

Phones weren't allowed, so instead of recording the talk, I ___ the main points by hand.

(wrote down / recorded)

查看答案

wrote down — 题目不允许用手机,并明确说不用录音而是手写重点,因此 wrote down 最贴切。Record 也能泛指记录,但这里 recording the talk 的语境指用设备录下讲话,正是句中排除的方式。

描述你在工作或学习中怎样记住重要事项。说明具体会记下什么,以及记在哪里。

At every team meeting, I write down all the new deadlines in a small paper notebook.
