LECTURE 143 基本動詞 RUN 2

詞組講解

1. run around with sb. *** 與某人一起混，與某人結交

解 短語動詞；詞義溯源：和某人一起［到處（around）］跑

例 Parents must be diligent in finding out exactly who their teenagers are running around with. Children are especially impressionable at this age and subject to peer pressure to a higher degree than at any other time in their lives. If they start associating with a bad group of friends, all that you've taught them can come to naught in a very short time.

2. run away from sb. or sth. / run away *** 逃跑

解 短語動詞；詞義溯源：從某人或某物處［遠遠地（away）］逃跑

例 Take for instance the case of Christopher Pearly, a bright 14-year-old who was at the top of his class academically. He had promise, but in the summer before his sophomore year, Christopher began associating with a group of high school dropouts. The day before school was to start, he ran away from home. Two years later he was arrested for posession of drugs and bank robbery.

3. run counter to sth. ** 與…相反，相抵觸

解 習語；詞義溯源：朝與某物［相反、倒著（counter）］的方向跑；本詞組與跑步沒有任何關系

例 If Christopher's parents had taken more interest in who he was keeping company with , would he made a mess of his life? Would he have even started into the habits that ran counter to his bright future? I think not.

4. run in the family 〔blood〕 ** 某種特征為一個家族所共有，世代相傳

解 習語；詞義溯源：［家庭、家族、族系（family）］的內在（血統(tǒng)）

例 Up in the attic, I found a long-lost painting of my great grandfather, which confirmed what I had always believed: big noses run in the family! My grandfather, my father and I all have great big noses that look like ski slopes.

5. run into a stone 〔brick〕 wall ** 碰壁，碰釘子

解 〈口〉習語；詞義溯源：碰撞到［大障礙、石壁（stone wall）］

例 Everything was going fine until we started probing the actions of the S-1 Office during the war. There we ran into a brick wall. Though we tried, we got nowhere and ended up going away empty-handed . So the question of who was responsible for the massacre continues to go begging .

2. 以克里斯托弗·皮爾里的故事為例。他14歲，在班里學習成績一直名列前茅，非常有前途。但是在他上大二之前的那個夏天，他開始跟一群高中輟學生交往。在開學前一天，他離家出走了。兩年后，他因為藏毒和搶劫銀行而被捕。

4. 我在閣樓里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一幅失蹤了很久的曾祖父的畫像，它驗證了我一直以來的一個想法：大鼻子是我們家族代代相傳的特色！我爺爺、我爸爸和我都是大鼻子，看起來就好像滑雪坡一樣。

2. A：我想要告訴同學們毒品與幸福、健康、成功的人生是背道而馳的。我將舉幾個被毒品毀掉一生的人的真實例子。B：祝你好運。我希望你的報告能發(fā)揮作用。多年以來，我一直努力讓孩子們意識到吸毒對美好生活有害，吸毒會阻礙夢想的實現(xiàn)，但是一直沒有效果。

3. A：夫人，確定您兒子并沒有離家出走嗎？B：克里斯托弗？哦，是的——我確定他不可能因為不高興就偷偷離開家。我肯定他只是迷路了。拜托，找找他吧！
