单词 | fall short of(run short of) |
释义 | short , fall ~ of : run ~ of — 933 这两个短语动词要加以区别: fall short of 作“不相抵”讲(参见词条 P.932 ),而 run short of 则是“用尽”和“不足”的意思,相当于 use almost all one has of and not have enough left 和 become less than enough 的意思。 例如: Our food may well fall short of daily needs. 我们的粮食可能还不够吃。 We have run short of oil. 油已用完了。 The supply of water is running short of what we need. 水越来越不够用了。 |
