英语短语do with是一个多义表达,核心含义围绕“处理、关联、需求或容忍”展开,常用在口语和书面语中。以下是其常见含义、用法及例句的详细解析:
表示“对某人/某物采取行动、处置”,常与what连用(询问“如何处理”)。
用法:主语通常是人,后接处理的“对象”(名词/代词)。
例句:
What do you do with old clothes?(你怎么处理旧衣服?)
The company doesn’t know how to do with the redundant workers.(公司不知道如何处理冗余员工。)
常用结构:could/would do with sth.,表示“(委婉)需要/想要某物”,比“need”更口语化。
例句:
I could do with a cup of tea right now.(我现在需要一杯茶。)
The garden would do with some new flowers.(花园需要种些新花。)
最常用的固定搭配:have something/nothing/anything to do with sb./sth.,分别表示“与…有关/无关/有何关系”。
例句:
This decision has nothing to do with you.(这个决定和你无关。)
Does the crime have anything to do with the suspect?(这起犯罪和嫌疑人有关吗?)
常用否定句:can’t/couldn’t do with sb./sth.,表示“无法忍受…;受不了…”。
例句:
I can’t do with his loud music at night.(我受不了他晚上放 loud 音乐。)
She couldn’t do with the stress of her job anymore.(她再也受不了工作的压力了。)
常与make搭配成make do with sth.,表示“用…凑合;利用现有资源应付”。
例句:
We had to make do with leftover rice for lunch.(我们午餐只好用剩饭凑合。)
Can you make do with this old phone until I get a new one?(在我买新手机前,你能用这台旧的凑合用吗?)
与what连用:询问“处理方式”时,do with常与what搭配(what是do的宾语);而deal with(也表示“处理”)常与how搭配(how是deal的方式状语)。例如:
What do you do with the problem?(你用什么处理这个问题?→ 问“处理的对象”)
How do you deal with the problem?(你怎么处理这个问题?→ 问“处理的方式”)
“have nothing to do with”:是高频固定表达,否定“关联”时,“nothing”比“not anything”更常用(但两者都正确)。
“could do with”:是口语中“需求”的委婉表达,避免直接说“need”,更自然。
问“如何处理”:What do you do with…?
说“需要某物”:I could do with…
否“关联”:have nothing to do with…
表“凑合”:make do with…
通过以上例子和用法解析,“do with”的含义和场景会更清晰~
