ice 是「冰」,over ice是「冰上」,那「ice over」又是什麼?

炎炎夏日,怎麼能少了冰激凌?大家知道冰激凌的英語表達是ice cream,我們今天主題詞就是ice,ice在英文既可以作為名詞——冰、冰塊來表達,也可以作為動詞用,表示結冰、冰凍的意思。那你又知道哪些關於ICE有關的短語呢?

1、Break the ice

其實這個詞語相對來說就比較好理解了,我們都知道break 有破、損壞的意思,那break the ice是不是可以理解為「破冰」呢?當然可以,不過這個破冰並非物理意義上的,而是理解為打破沉默僵局的意思。

例句:He told a dry joke to break the ice.他講了個冷笑話來打破沉默。

2、over ice or ice over

over作為副詞用是結束、完成的意思,比如遊戲結束我們可以說「game over」,不過它也可以做介詞表示在……上面,所以它跟ice可以組成over ice意思是在冰上。然而當over放在ice後面意思卻完全變了,ice over則應該解釋為結冰。

例句1:Strong sweetened coffee served over ice with cream.

濃的加糖的咖啡,和奶油一起放在冰塊上。

例句2:In winter, the river ice over, so people can skate on the river.

冬天時,河上面會結一層薄冰,所以人們可以在河面上溜冰。

3、ice water or water ice

water大家都知道是「水」,那ice water就很好理解,是冰水的意思。不過同樣是這兩個詞,water與ice換下位置意思卻又變了,water ice意思為冰塊。

例句1:I need some ice water delivered.

我需要一些冰水。

例句2:Water ice could be melted and purify to drinking.

冰塊可能會融化、提純以供飲用。

4、Put on ice

Put on這個詞我們在日常生活中經常都會用到,比如穿上衣服(put on clothes),那put on ice是不是就能理解為「穿上冰」呢?如果你真的這樣理解,那就鬧笑話了。其實put on ice它真實的含義與冰並沒有關係,在這裡ice作為動詞使用,應該翻譯為延遲、擱置或暫緩,有時候on ice也可以單獨使用。

例句1:The deal was put on ice for three months

該交易被擱置了3個月

例句2:The plan for the new book is on ice at the moment.

寫那本新書的計劃暫時擱一下。

好了,這期關於ice有關的短語介紹就到這裡結束,大家若有更多有趣有意思的知識可在評論裡留言討論,我們一起學習。
