Lindsay McMahon: 我小时候家里用 'wash up for dinner' 表示开饭，意思是去洗手准备吃饭。这个短语让我回忆起童年的家庭生活，不同家庭可能有不同的说法，这很有趣。在餐馆我不会说wash up，我会说can I help clean up？ Aubrey Carter: 听众提问关于 'wash up' 和 'wash over me' 的用法，以及对 'wreckage washed up' 的理解。'Wash up' 有两个截然不同的含义，一个是（某物）被冲到岸上，例如鲸鱼尸体或丢失的珠宝。另一个意思是洗漱，洗手，洗澡，也可以指饭后清理，洗碗。'Wash away' 的意思是水冲走，可以用于描述犯罪现场的脚印被雨水冲走的情况。'Wash off' 的意思是洗掉表面的东西。'Wash down' 的意思是吃东西后喝东西。'Wash over' 有两个相反的意思，一个是强烈地影响某人，例如恶心的浪潮席卷了他；另一个是没有影响某人，例如我让她的侮辱从我身上流过。要根据语境、语调和肢体语言来判断 'wash over' 的具体含义。在家里说wash up有一种家的感觉，意味着你在清理自己的烂摊子或厨房。
