这里面的“I still got it”再加上她得意的神情,指的是她很自豪自己还保持着以前的身形和吸引力。
我之前说过,越是简单的单词,它的含义越是复杂,比如上面的例子中只有两个字母组成的“it”,“get”自然也不例外。它可以作为及物动词,也可以作为不及物动词,同时还能当名词使用,因此字典里它的意思有将近30个。这里我采撷一二,简单总结一下生活中比较常见的“get”的意思:
1. 最简单的也是最基本的,“to receive or come to have possession, use, or enjoyment of”,也就是“得到”,比如:
I got a birthday present from my dad.
这个意思非常常用,以至于日语也直接借鉴过来,写作“ゲット”,也就是“get”的日式发音,表示“得到了”!
2. “to go after, take hold of, and bring (something) for one's own or for another's purposes; fetch”,也就是“拿过来”的意思,比如:
Can I get you anything?
如下动图所示:
3. “to cause or cause to become, to do, to move, etc., as specified; effect:”,意思是“使。。。发生等”,比如:
I got my hair cut.
Get her out of here, 如下动图所示:
4. to hear or hear clearly,比如:
I didn't get your last name.
5. “to acquire a mental grasp or command of; learn:”, 这个意思主要在北美(美国和加拿大)比较常用,比如:
To get a lesson.
6. “to capture; seize”,也就是“抓住”的意思,比如当美国终于抓住萨达姆以后,可以说:“we got him!”
