1. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri, along the Mississippi River. (P17)
【歸納】 (1) bring sb up表示“培養(yǎng),養(yǎng)育或教育某人”, 多用于被動語態(tài)。如:
Her parents died when she was a baby and she was brought up by her aunt.
(2) bring sth up意思是“提出某事”。如:
There’s no need to bring up his past when we are considering him for employment.
(3) bring up 還可表示“嘔吐”。如:
Jane can’t come, as she’s been bringing up all morning.
【延伸】 bring down下跌;bring in引進;bring about 帶來,產(chǎn)生;bring out拿出來,生產(chǎn),出版;bring back 帶回;bring to an end 結束。
【易錯點】 bring up和educate 有區(qū)別,bring up 表示孩子在家里受到的道德和社交訓練;education則用來表示人們在中小學、大學等場所受到的訓練(特別是智能和文化上的訓練)。
如果我們說一個孩子badly brought up,那么,這可能意味著這孩子不懂禮貌或自私自利。說一個人well educated,則是說他受過好的教育、上過好的學;蚝玫拇髮W。
