小词活用之「over」,take over 和 hand over分别是什么意思?

原标题:小词活用之「over」,take over 和 hand over分别是什么意思?

take over表“接管”,它的反义词是?

◇to take over: (to assume direction or control of) 接管

说明

a. take over 表“接管”,之后可接宾语。但本短语亦可视作不及物动词,之后不接宾语。

例如:

Paul took overthe business when his father retired.

= Paul assumed the management of the business when his father retired.

(保罗的父亲退休时,他便接管了事业。)

Fred was sick, so Frank took overfor him at the office.

= Fred was sick, so Frank assumed responsibility for him at the office.

(弗雷德生病了,所以弗兰克接替他的工作。)

b. hand over表“移交”,与 take over 互为反义短语。hand over 始终做及物动词,常用的句型为:

hand something over to sb

= hand over something to sb

将某事物移交给某人

Peter was reluctant to hand over his position to his successor.

(彼得不甘心把职位移交给他的继任者。)

例句

From May 1, William will take overMr. Smith's duties.

(5月1日起,威廉将接管史密斯先生的职务。)

Helen worked on the report for several days, and then John took over.

(海伦用了好几天写这份报告,之后就由约翰接替了。)
