"learn off" 是一个及物动词短语,核心含义是“逐字记熟;背诵;把…背下来”,强调通过重复记忆将内容(如文字、台词、公式等)精准记住,以便能够准确复述。
"learn off" 侧重“刻意背诵、记熟”的动作,通常用于需要准确记忆的场景(如诗歌、演讲稿、戏剧台词、口诀等)。相当于更口语化的 "memorize"(记住),但更强调“逐字背下来”的过程。
结构:主语 + learn off + 宾语(名词/代词,指需背诵的内容)
宾语类型:通常是具体的、可复述的内容,如:a poem(诗歌)、a speech(演讲稿)、lines(台词)、the multiplication tables(乘法表)、a recipe(菜谱步骤)等。

"learn off" 和 "learn by heart" 含义相近(均为“背熟”),但:
"learn off" 更强调“逐字记忆”的动作;
"learn by heart" 更强调“牢记于心”的结果(更常见于书面或正式语境)。
例如:He learned the poem off / by heart.(他把诗背下来了。)
"learn off" 是口语中常用的短语,核心是“刻意背熟内容”,适用于需要精准复述的场景。记住它的关键是:后接具体的“需背诵的内容”,表示“把…逐字背下来”。
