76. While they are out of their room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
點睛
短語be out of意為“在……之外”。whatever意為“任何事物,一切事物”,是對之前提到的money“錢”和handbag“手提包”的簡略補充。短語make off with sth.是本句的聽力難點,意為“順手牽羊,偷走某物”。
考點歸納
聽力中有關make的短語很多,此處列舉幾個跟make off with sth.相近的短語:
make off意為“匆忙離開,倉惶逃跑”。如:
When the rabbit saw the boy, it made off at once. 兔子一見到男孩,就立刻跑掉了。
make sth. of sb./sth.意為“領會,理解,看待”。如:
History is what you make of it. 歷史正如你所理解的那樣。
make the most of意為“充分利用”。如:
You should make the most of your week's 168 hours. 你應該充分利用一周的168個小時。
