每天講解一個實用口語表達,幫你輕松學英語!常用的口語表達學透,才能真正提高英語口頭交流的能力。今天要和大家分享的口語表達是:duck out.
duck作名詞是鴨子的意思,但在這個口語表達中作動詞用。家里養(yǎng)過鴨的農(nóng)村的朋友一定知道,鴨子是成群成群的走路、覓食或者活動的,但是偶爾會有淘氣的鴨子會偷偷的離群,因此就有了duck out這個英語口語表達。

現(xiàn)在duck out 一般用來形容人,to sneak out of some place when one is among other people,就是“偷偷離開人群”的意思。
It's crunch time of the company. Don't duck out of the office early.
這是公司的關(guān)鍵時期,不要提前離開辦公室哦。

duck out 引申開來, 還有個意思,是“躲避責任,逃避做某事”,evade responsibility, escape doing something.
Are you trying to duck out of your responsibility?
別搞砸了。你是在逃避你的責任嗎?
表示逃避做某事的時候,我們經(jīng)常用到的一個句式是:duck out of doing something.
The shy boy got cold feet, and tried to duck out of going to the dance.
害羞的男孩膽怯了,不想去參加舞會了。
下面我們再來看幾個和這個口語表達有關(guān)的例句:
I'll duck out to get something to eat and be right back.
我去搞點吃的就來。

他們本來應該打掃車間,但是他們聲稱太累離開了。

不要想逃避職責。不要設(shè)法逃避做任何必須做的艱苦工作。
今天我們學了duck out,其實我們前面還學過好幾個動物有關(guān)的英語口語表達,大家還想得起來嗎?
每天記住記牢一個實用英語口語表達,每天進步一點點。
