v. (动词)
prepare, prepare for
  • prepare的意思是“准备或筹划某事”; prepare for的意思是“为某事的到来作准备”。例如:

  • 又如:

  • 老师筹划考试。
  • The students prepared for the exam.
  • 学生为应付考试作准备。
  • be prepared, be ready
  • 这两个短语都可以表示已经完成采取某种行动之前所必要的准备或具备进行某项活动的条件。其区别在于:

  • We are ready to start.我们准备好了,可以开始了。
  • He was always ready to help his friends.他总是乐于帮助朋友 。
  • 2.而be prepared除强调为做某事而进行了积极的努力外,还常常用来强调精神上有应付意想不到的事件的能力。例如:

  • She is cooking in the kitchen.她在厨房里做饭。
  • Let me fix you a drink!我来为你倒杯饮料。
  • He got〔made〕 himself a cup of coffee.他给自己冲了杯咖啡。
