Pick up the phone

發佈時間: 2015/07/08

早上乘長途巴士是小睡的好時機。最怕鄰座乘客的電話大聲響起,真箇會嚇醒。不過,有些喜用靜音的朋友,卻常感受不到震機,沒有拿起電話(pick up the phone),倒也是煩人。

今日談談兩個常常配搭phone的動詞短語(phrasal verbs)。首先,pick up the phone。「拿起電話」即是answer the phone/answer the call(接電話)。例句:I've phoned him a thousand times but he just didn't pick up the phone.(我已經打電話給他很多次,但他總是沒有拿起電話。)Don't answer the phone when eating or drinking.(進食或飲水時,不要接聽電話。)

「掛斷電話」英文用hang up the phone,說hang up on someone也可。例句:Don't hang up the phone and expect her to call you back.(不要掛斷電話,然後期望她會給你回電。)How dare you hang up on me!(你竟敢給我掛電話!)
