LECTURE 129 基本動詞 MAKE 16

詞組講解

1. make up for sth. *** 補(bǔ)償，賠償，彌補(bǔ)

解短語動詞；詞義溯源：［代替（for）］某人或某物制作［完整（up）］

例 What's amazing is the ingenuity the Sarajevo residents have shown in coming up with ways to make up for the loss of basic necessities: beds made from gutted refrigerators, tea kettles made from discarded artillery casings and wine distilleries pieced together from used hospital intravenous bottles and tubes are just a few examples.

2. make up / make up with sb. *** 和解，言歸于好

解短語動詞；詞義溯源：和某人成為［完整（up）］的

例 The front page has a huge photo of the two former presidents hugging each other. That just goes to show you that in politics any two rivals can find a way to make up if there's a political advantage to doing so.

3. make use of sb. or sth. ** （為了特定的目的）利用

解習(xí)語；詞義溯源：對某人或某物做出［利用（use）］的行為

例 I've got it! Sun Ming has a big mouth , right? If somebody tells him a secret, he'll tell everybody else, right? Okay then. We'll make use of his inability to keep a secret to get the message to Song Qing that his surprise birthday party is at Liu Yang's house. Then we'll have the party at the office and really surprise him!

4. make waves ** 制造麻煩或問題

解〈口〉習(xí)語；詞義溯源：引起［風(fēng)波（waves）］；參照rock the boat

例 I know. I know. You're right. You do have a bone to pick with Carlton. But please, wait until after we've finished our performance tour. Everything's going smoothly and I want to keep it that way until we get back to Chicago. Please don't make waves right now, okay?

5. make way for sb. or sth. / make way ** 讓路；（僅用make way）前進(jìn)，向前移動

解習(xí)語；詞義溯源：為了某人或某物建造出［路（way）］或走［路（way）］；本詞組原用于航海領(lǐng)域

例 You shouldn't hold it against Mr. Mueller. He had no choice but to move you out of the design department. He had to make way for the two young designers he hired. If you had stayed, you probably would have restricted their imagination.
