Lindsay McMahon: 我最近滑雪时在停车场摔倒了,非常尴尬。当时我急于向我的兄弟证明我的滑雪技术,结果在穿滑雪靴时,不小心绊倒在班车上。这真是太尴尬了,我差点都哭了。我也试过从滑雪缆车上摔下来。如果你是个滑雪高手,但还是摔倒了,那就更糟糕了,感觉好像自己应该做得更好。很高兴我们从“绊倒”这个实际概念开始,然后扩展到它的比喻意义。 Aubrey Carter: 在雅思能量播客中,我们经常提到学生在考试中“trip up”,意思是犯错或者被误导。考试中会有一些技巧和陷阱,目的是让你犯错。“I got tripped up when the direction said head north and I went south” 意味着我犯了一个错误。“Trip up”意味着犯错、感到困惑或掉入陷阱,与实际摔倒无关。“Trip over”表示脚被某物绊住,导致摔倒或差点摔倒。如果使用“trip over”,需要说明被什么绊倒,无论是实际的还是比喻的。我们不使用“trip off”,但使用“trip on”,它与“trip over”非常相似。“Tripping”这个词有时用于指吸毒。
