(六)短语动词
　　I. 要点
　　英语中有许多短语动词在意义上是一个整体，其用法有的相当于及物动词，有的相当于不及物动词，有的兼有及物动词和不及物动词的特征。英语短语动词的构成主要有以下六种：
　　(1) 动词＋介词
　　常见的有look for, look after, send for, care about, ask for, laugh at, hear of (from), add to, lead to等。这类短语动词的宾语只能放在介词后。如：
　　Don’t laugh at others.
　　I didn’t care about it.
　　(2) 动词＋副词
　　常见的有give up, pick up, think over, find out, hand in, point out等。这类短语动词的宾语如果是名词，既可放在副词前边，又可放在副词后边；宾语如果是人称代词或反身代词，则要放在副词前边。如：You’ll hand in your homework tomorrow.
　　Please don’t forget to hand it in.
　　(3) 动词＋副词＋介词
　　常见的有look down upon, go on with, break away from, add up to, catch up with等。这类短语动词的宾语只能放在介词后边。如：
　　All his money added up to no more than $100.
　　After a short rest, he went on with his research work.
　　(4) 动词＋名词＋介词
　　常见的有take care of, make use of, pay attention to, make fun of 等。这类短语动词的宾语只能放在介词后边。如：You should pay attention to your handwriting.
　　We should make full use of our time.
　　(5) 动词＋形容词
　　常见的有leave open, set free, cut open等。这类短语动词的宾语如果是名词，则宾语可放在形容词的前边，也可放在后边；宾语如果是人称代词或反身代词，则必须放在形容词前边。如： 
　　The prisoners were set free.
　　He cut it open.
　　(6) 动词＋名词
　　常见的有take place, make friends等。这类短语动词用作不及物动词。如：
　　This story took place three years ago.
　　I make friends with a lot of people.
　　(7)辨析
　　give away(让给，暴露) 和 give up(放弃，停止)
　　put away(放起，收起) 和 put out (扑灭)
　　turn up(出席，放大) 和 turn on (打开)
　　keep out(阻止) 和 keep off (不让靠近)
　　make up(编造，补上) 和 make out(辨认)
　　take off(脱，起飞) 和 take out(拿出)
