“do exercise”是英语中常用的短语,核心含义是“做运动;锻炼身体”,强调通过身体活动达到健身、增强体质的目的。以下是具体解析:
“do exercise”中的exercise作不可数名词时,指“(整体的)锻炼、运动”(抽象概念);若作可数名词(如“exercises”),则指“具体的练习、训练动作”(如早操、眼保健操、数学题等)。因此:
do exercise:侧重“进行(整体的)锻炼”(如跑步、瑜伽等);
do exercises:侧重“做具体的练习/动作”(如“do morning exercises”做早操、“do eye exercises”做眼保健操)。
结构:主语 + do/does/did + exercise + [时间/频率状语]
例:
I do exercise every morning to keep fit.(我每天早上锻炼保持健康。)
She does exercise for 30 minutes every evening.(她每晚锻炼30分钟。)
They did exercise together yesterday afternoon.(他们昨天下午一起锻炼了。)
说明锻炼的目的,如“保持健康、减肥、增强体力”等。
例:
Many people do exercise to lose weight.(很多人锻炼是为了减肥。)
You should do exercise to build up your strength.(你应该锻炼增强体力。)
强调锻炼的规律性,常见的有“regularly(定期地)、often(经常)、once a week(每周一次)”等。
例:
Doing exercise regularly is good for your heart.(定期锻炼对心脏好。)
He does exercise twice a week at the gym.(他每周在健身房锻炼两次。)
例:
Don’t you do exercise? You look tired.(你不锻炼吗?你看起来很累。)
Does she do exercise on weekends?(她周末锻炼吗?)
短语 | 含义 | 例句 |
---|---|---|
do exercise | 做(整体的)锻炼 | I need to do exercise more often.(我需要多锻炼。) |
do exercises | 做具体的练习/动作 | Let’s do morning exercises first.(我们先做早操吧。) |
do math exercises | 做数学题 | The teacher asked us to do math exercises for homework.(老师让我们做数学题作为作业。) |
take exercise:与“do exercise”同义,更偏向英式英语(如:“I take exercise every day.”);
work out:更口语化,强调“健身、训练”(如:“She works out at the gym every evening.”)。
总结:“do exercise”是表达“锻炼身体”的基础短语,注意区分“exercise”的可数/不可数形式,根据语境选择是否加“s”。
