COME 的含意不局限于“来“、“为什么“、“讲价“等，现在就来介绍使用come的自然表现法。
come拜访
A:Do you think you could comeo Sunday?
B:I'm sorry,but I can't come.
A:Why?
B:I'vegot a previous appointment.
A:Oh, taht's too bad.
A:你星期日能来吗?
B:喔!抱歉,我恐怕不能来.
A:为什么呢?
B:因为我已经预先和别人约好了.
A:那真是太可惜了.
通常come也可以用为表示"去"的含意.一般而言,如果是以"某种场合"作为起点,而向外"去"时应使用go,但若是指进入"某个到达点"时,就应使用come.
简单地说,go是用于"自己要去～"的时候;如果是"自己要去对方的地方"时,就应使用come.对于Comehere.(到这里来),回答"马上就过去时应使用I'm
com-ing,而不是I'm going.又例如:I'll come to the party,是对主办宴会表示要参加他的宴会,如果是I'll
go to the party,则表示将参加与对方无关的宴会.
come 到达
A:Anybody here yet?
B:Nobody has come yet.
A:How soon are they coming. you know?
B:sorry, I have no idea.
A:Shall I tell them to come quick?
A:还没人来吗?
B:还没有人来.
A:他们要过多久才到吗?
B:抱歉,我也不晓得.
A:我要不要提醒他们早一点来呢?
come也可用于"到达"(目的地)之时,现在就介绍几种解释为"到达"的例句:Has he come?(他到达了吗?);The train is
coming.(火车刚刚进站);He will come soon.(他大概不久就会到达了)等.
come 喂,不要-
A:What's wrong with you?
B:I'm going to quit my job.
A:Come,don't be silly.
A:你到底怎么了?
B:我想辞职.
A:喂!不要干蠢事.
come如果用在命令、感叹等语句时，就是向对方"催促、警告、愤怒、注意"等,而含有"来吧"、"喂"、"不要这样"、"不要开玩笑"等意思.
如果重复使用come,则含有加强语气的作用,例:Come,Come,you shouldn't speak like that!(喂!喂!希望你不要说这种话)
What's wrong with～?为"～是怎么了呢?"的惯用发问句.
come this way 请来这里
A:Could we have a table for three?
B:Yes,Please come this way. Here's the menu.
A:What do you recommend?
B:How about the lunch special today?
A:我们总共有三个人.
B:好的,请到这边来.请看看菜单.
A:贵店的拿手好菜是什么呢?
B:今天的特餐如何呢?
此外所介绍的come,含有在服务员后面"跟着去"的意义.目前有许多餐厅都采取预先订位的方式,一般顾客都会以电话订位.在欧美有许多餐厅并不是由顾客自行选择位置,通常在餐厅的入口处,服务员就会问顾客How
many peopel?然后再按照人数的多少,引领客人到最适当的位置.除了大城市的餐厅或简易餐厅等,有些地方也有服务员为顾客带位的现象.
美国服务员招呼客人时,通常是将手常朝上,用手指朝自己的面前挥动,这一点应特别注意.
come in three sizes 有三种尺寸
A:May I help you?
B:I'm looking for a suede jacket.
A:Well ,what size do you wear.
B:May I try some on?
A:This jacket comes in three sizes.
A:我能为你做什么吗?
B:我想买一件皮制茄克.
A:好的,你需要哪一种尺寸呢?
B:我能试穿看看吗?
A:本店这种茄克有三种尺寸.
在此come是"可以获得"(制品等)～"有售卖"(商品是以～形态、容量、种类)等的含意.例如:this soup come in a can.(这杯浓汤是以罐装来售卖);Our
new Ford comes with or without a couvertible top.(本公司的福特新车型,具有敞蓬和加盖车二种)
"May I help you?"是指店员对客人,或公司的柜台人员对访客所说的话,其意为"我能为你服务吗?"、"你有什么事情吗?",虽然也可用Can来代替May,但May的语气较为客气.
come eat 来用餐
A:Are you free tonight?
B:Yes ,I'm free.
A:Tonight we're having barbecued steak. Why don't you come eat with us?
B:Suits me fine. I'm coming.
A:你今晚有空吗?
B:嗯,我今晚没事.
A:今晚我们要去吃烤肉,你要不要一起去呢?
B:好啊!我一定会去.
本来"来用餐"的原始句型应为come to eat,但在一般的生活会话中都使用come and eat,或更好简单地说come eat就可.因此,"请你来看我"中的Come
to se me.也以使用Come and see me./Come see me. 等较为普遍.在送客时的惯用语为:Please come
see us again.(下次有空欢迎再来).
问人家"今晚有空吗?"也可使用"Do you have time tonight?". suit是"适合于～"、"刚好"等意思.例如:"Will
five o'ciock suit you?""Yes,(It)suit me fine."(五点好吗?--当然可以.)
this coming- 这一次的～
A:We are having a party this coming Saturday. Can you come?
B:I'd love to.Should I bring anything?
A:Bring some beer,will you?
B:Why not? See you there.
A:我们将在本周末举行宴会,你能来吗?
B:我很乐意参加.要带些什么东西吗?
A:你能带一些啤酒来吗?
B:没问题,那么周末见了.
come如果用于现在分词coming时,就变成形容词而解释成"接下来的"、"下一个的"等意思,与英文中的next作相同的解释.
I'd love to. 为I'd love to come.中省略come的句型,通常是女性最喜欢使用的说法.在此外使用,含有与yes(表示同意)相同的意思.例如:"Would
you like to dancy?""I'd love to .""你要跳舞吗?--我很乐意."
Why not?也是对别人的邀请表示"我很乐意"的意思.
come to～ 成为作～
A:How do you like Chicago?
B:I'm new here. Everything seems so big to me.
A:Soon you'll come to like Chicago.
B:I bet I will.
A:你喜欢芝加哥这个地方吗?
B:因为初到这里,所以感觉任何事情都很新鲜.
A:你一定很快就会喜爱芝加哥.
B:我也是这么认为.
如果come与不定词to连用时,"come to～"就应解释为"～发生"的意思.例如:How did you come to meet her?(在什么机缘下遇见她呢);HOw
did you come to hear of it ?(你是怎样听到这个消息呢)
值得注意的是,解释作"～发生"时,不可使用be-come来代替.因为become之后不可与不定词to连用.一般而言,如果解释为"变成～"时则须使用become.例如:He
become a teacher.(他变成一位老师).
come back 回来
A:Coming back next year?
B:Maybe, but I'mnot sure yet.
A:I hope you'll come back again. Have a nice trip.
B:Thank you. I enjoyed it here , I hope we meet again.
A:明年还会再来吗?
B:也许吧,但我尚无法确定.
A:我希望你能再来,旅途愉快.
B:谢谢!在这里真快乐,希望下次能再见面.
come back含有"回来"的意思.虽然在Are you com-ing back next year?中Are you被省略了,但却是一种常用的会话,例如,在商店中也时常可以听见"欢迎再度光临",所使用的"Come
back to see us,";在"想不出她的名字"时,也可使用"Her name didn't come back to me,";想表达"我马上就回来"时,应说"I'll
come (be) back in a minute."
maybe解释为"可能""大概是".例如Maybe I'll go.(也许我会去).
come down 讲价
A:How much is it?
B:Seventy dollars.
A:That's expensive. Can't you come down a little?
A:这要多少钱呢?
B:70美元.
A:太贵了,能不能稍微减价呢?
come down的原意为"下降",在此被引申为"减价"之意.例如:"便宜一点吧!"可以说成"Will you cut the price a
little?"
[How much is {are}+商品?]是在问价钱时惯用的语句.注意!不可使用How much is the price? expensive是
(根据品质与自己的经济能力来评定)"价钱太高".虽然"便宜"常使用"cheap,但这种说法含有比一般价格便宜,或物品太多而使价格便宜等意思.若以price
为主语,则应使用high(贵)、low(便宜)等来形容.
come from- 出生于-
A:Where do you come from?
B:I come from American.
A:When did you come over here?
B:Three years ago.
A:Could you speak Chinese when you arrived here?
B:No, I couldn't.
A:你在那儿出生呢?
B:我在美国出生.
A:你何时来这儿呢?
B:三年前.
A:你初到这里时,会讲中文吗?
B:不会.
come from-是指"出生于～"的意思.例如:""Where do you come from?""Icome from Miami,"(你在那儿出生的呢?我出生于迈阿密).通常come作这种解释时,不采用过去或完成式,而应一律使用现在式.虽然也有Where
did you come from?/Where are you come from?如果想问对方来自何方时,就应使用Where did you
come from?问对方的国籍时,应使用Where is your nationality?
How come? 为什么,为何
A:Hi, Bill! How's everything going?
B:OK,but I just feel tired all the time.
A:How come? YOu should see a doctor.
A:嗨!比尔,你好吗?
B:很好,但我一直觉得很累.
A:为什么呢?我想你最好去找医生看看.
How come?常解释"为什么是～"、"为何会～"等用于请教原因的说法,可以使用why?来替换.
虽然why?除了含有"为什么～"之意外,也可表示质问对方的意思与目的.注意!欲表示"为什么"时不可使用how come,此时的why相当于what
for.记住！用在“为什和是～“中的why可以用how come 代替；而解释为：“为什么“的why则应以what for 来代替.
How come～? 为什么要～
A:How come you're taking the train? Afraid of flying?
B:No. I just wanted to be bored.
A:I doubt it.
A:你为什么要搭火车呢？是不是害怕搭飞机呢？
B:不，我只是不急着赶时间而己。
A:我很怀疑。
How come～?是HOw does it come(that)～?的简略会话句型。例如：How come you got that job
at the office？不可说成How come did you get～？这一点需特别注意。
在例句中Afraid之前省略了Are you，而fly是指“搭乘飞机“。“下星期五我将搭飞机回家“应说成"I'll fly home next
Friday,",如果说“I doubt it,"则表示对别人所说的事情感到“怀疑；不可能“等。
bsp;you come from?/Where are you come from?如果想问对方来自何方时,就应使用Where did you
come from?问对方的国籍时,应使用Where is your nationality?
How come? 为什么,为何
