take turns to do sth是现在还未发生但即将发生,take turns doing sth是已发生并将继续发生。那就看强调主要是将要去做还是这件事情本身了,如Beth and Amanda are taking turns riding(强调骑马这件事)。
take的常见用法与搭配
1. 表示“拿去”“带去”等,与 bring(拿来)方向相反。如:
Please take the empty cup away and bring me a cup of tea.请把这个空杯拿走,给我倒杯茶来。
若语义需要,其后可带双宾语;若双宾语易位,用介词to引出间接宾语。如:
Please take him a cup of tea.=Please take a cup of tea to him. 请给他端杯茶去。
有时表示“拿去”可能与方向无关。如:
He took the box to the farm. 他把那个箱子带到了农场。
2. 表示“搭乘(交通工具)”,比较下面的同义表达:
他决定乘出租车去火车站。
正:He decided to take a taxi to the railway station.
正:He decided to go to the railway station by taxi.
