实用例句:
1 .I can make an appointment for you."make an appointment”意为“订个约会”。本句中“make an appointment for you"表示“为你约个时间”;如果说"make an appointment for (a certain date)",则表示“约定在某一时间见而”。 也可与介词with连用,构成词组make an appointment with sb一表示“和某人安排个约会”。例如: Jerry made an appointment with Sam to sign the contract.杰瑞和山姆约定时间签合同。 I made an appointment with the dentist to have a bad tooth pulled out.我和牙医约好时间拔我的坏牙。 该词组中的动词make可以用fix或arrange代替,表示相同意思。相关的词组还有:cancel an appointment取消约定/约会,reschedule/rearrange an appointment重新安排约定l约会,put off/postpone the appointment推迟约定l约会。
2. I'm afraid he's fully tied up this week."tied up”意为“没有空闲时‘间”,相当于not free或not available。可以用booked up或occupied代替。例如: I'm afraid we can't meet till Wednesday-I'm tied up on Monday and Tuesday. 恐怕我们只能周三见了。我周一周二都没有空。 Mrs. Hawke is tied up in a meeting at the moment, but I'll ask her to call you later.霍克夫人现在正在开会,我让她过一会儿打给你。
