"lose one's control" 是"某人失去对(某人/某物的)控制"的意思,强调主体(one's 对应的人)无法再管理、支配或约束某个对象(如局面、他人、情绪等)。
需注意:该短语通常需搭配介词 over 或 of 引出"被控制的对象"(即"对什么失去控制");若省略介词和对象,则默认指"失去自我控制"(如情绪、行为失控)。
("one's" 需替换为形容词性物主代词,如 my/his/her/their 等)
抽象事物:situation(局势)、temper(脾气)、emotions(情绪)、patience(耐心);
具体对象:crowd(人群)、children(孩子)、plane(飞机)、team(团队)。
通过例句更直观理解用法:
1、 失去对"局面/他人"的控制
The teacher lost his control over the noisy class.(老师管不住吵闹的班级了。)
The manager lost her control of the team after the mistake.(犯错后,经理失去了对团队的掌控。)
2、 失去对"自身情绪/行为"的控制
He lost his control of his temper and shouted at his wife.(他忍不住发脾气,对妻子大喊大叫。)
She was so sad that she lost her control and cried loudly.(她太难过了,失控大哭起来。)
3、 失去对"具体事物"的控制
The pilot almost lost his control of the plane in the storm.(飞行员在风暴中差点失去对飞机的控制。)
同义:lose control of(更简洁,强调"失控")、lose one's grip on(更口语,"抓不住、管不住");
反义:regain one's control over(重新控制)、keep/maintain one's control over(保持控制)。
lose control:更常用,直接表示"失控"(可指自身或对外界),如:He lost control and hit the wall.(他失控撞了墙。)
lose one's control:更强调"某人的控制"(即主体是"one's"对应的人),需明确"对什么失去控制"(加 over/of),如:She lost her control over the project.(她失去了对项目的控制。)
总结:"lose one's control" 是"某人失去对(某对象)的控制",核心是"主体无法支配对象",需结合介词和具体语境使用。
