與hold有關(guān)的短語(yǔ)有哪些

　　There are many American expressions using the word "hold". This week I introduce them to you.

　　"Can’t hold a candle to" is a popular expression. It was coined during the time when people used candles for light. Someone who lived in a big house would have a servant to light his way by holding a candle. At first, the expression meant that a person who can’t hold the candle to you is not fit even to be your servant. Now it means such a person can’t compare or compete.

　　Another expression is "hold your tongue". It means to be still and not to talk. The saying is not something you will tell your friends. But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.

　　"Hold out" is another expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news. It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players hold out if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth. Members of Labor Unions hold out and refuse to work until they get the work agreement they want.

　　The expression "hold up (hold-up)"has several different meanings. One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, "This is a hold-up; give me your money." Another meaning is to delay. A driver late for work may tell his boss, "I was held up by heavy traffic." Someone who was robbed on the way to work might say, "I’m sorry, boss. I was held up by a hold-up." Still another meaning of the expression is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. The same driver late for work could say, "My boss did not believe my being held up by a hold-up. But the police confirmed what I said, so my story held up."

　　"Hold on" is another expression. It often means to wait or stop. As you leave for school, your brother may say, "Hold on; you forgot your book."

　　【短語(yǔ)串記】

　　1. can’t hold a candle to 簡(jiǎn)直不能與……相比

　　電器發(fā)明之前，各國(guó)人都一樣,只能靠蠟燭來(lái)照明。工匠在晚上做工時(shí)，會(huì)叫學(xué)徒給他拿著蠟燭;有錢人晚上從酒館、戲院回家時(shí)，也有仆人拿著蠟燭引路。仆人和主人的身份本來(lái)就很懸殊了，如果連做人家的仆人、給人家拿蠟燭都不配的話，那么雙方在地位、能力等方面一定相差很遠(yuǎn)。

　　所以，人們常常用can’t hold a candle to或not fit to hold a candle to來(lái)表達(dá)“遠(yuǎn)遜于，簡(jiǎn)直不能與……相比”的意思。中文里也有類似的說(shuō)法，如“你連給我提鞋都不配”。

　　eg. No one can hold a candle to him when it comes to playing the guitar.

　　說(shuō)到彈吉他，誰(shuí)也比不上他。

　　2. hold one’s tongue 住嘴，保持沉默

　　3. hold out 不肯妥協(xié)(以爭(zhēng)取更好條件)，不肯復(fù)工(以得到更好結(jié)果)

　　eg. The strikers held out for a raise of five cents an hour.

　　罷工者為爭(zhēng)取每小時(shí)工資提高五分錢而不肯復(fù)工。

　　hold out 最基本的意思是"伸出"。

　　eg. She held out both her hands to show her welcome.

　　她伸出雙手表示歡迎。

　　4. hold up 劫持,搶劫;使停頓,耽誤;能成立,站得住

　　eg. The thieves held up the van and took everything in it.
