实用英语口语:你不知道的plug短语1. plug something on TV 做电视广告I have a contract for two million dollars a year to plug these shoes on TV. They've already filmed three plugs and you'll see the first plug next week - I think you'll like it。 我有一份耗资两百万美元为这些鞋子作一年电视广告的合约。 他们已经拍了三个广告片。 下星期你将会看到遥个。 我想你会喜欢的。 例句里提到 to plug these shoes,这里plug是动词,就是“做广告宣传”。 后面提到的 three plugs和the first plug,这里plug成了名词了,意思就是“广告”。 2. plug away 坚持不懈,努力完成某项工作I started my novel five years ago. It's been hard to find the time with all my other work, but I've kept plugging away every weekend and yesterday I started the last chapter。 我五年前开始动笔写这部小说。 但是因为平时还得忙于其它事务,所以很难挤出时间来写作。 不过,我每个遥都坚持创作,昨天已经开始进入较后一章的写作了。 这里的plugging away every weekend就是每个遥都埋头苦干的意思。 五年来一直如此。 这样说来习惯用语plug away意思就是坚持不懈、排除障碍,努力完成一件困难的工作。 3. plug in 和权贵关系密切并熟知内情See that tall man who just walked in. He's a good news source: he's a lawyer who's plugged in to the leaders of both political parties and is really in touch with what's going on。 看见那刚进来的高个子先生吧,他可是宝贵的消息来源。 他是律师,和两遥的头面遥都关系密切,所以确实熟知政界内情。 我们都知道plug通常可以指电线插头,动词词组plug in意思一定是“遥插头”。 电器一插上了插头就接通了电源,也就能发挥作用了。 然而plug in常常隐含更深的意思,可以转用来说人,多用be plugged in to的形式出现,表示“和权贵/高层关系密切并熟知内情”。
