USED WITH NOUNS DESCRIBING ACTIONS 与描述动作的名词连用

    Take is used in combination with a wide range of nouns, where the meaning of the combination is mostly given by the noun. Many of these combinations are common idiomatic expressions whose meanings can be found at the appropriate nouns. For example, the expression take care is explained at care.
    take 能和各种名词搭配使用,其含义主要取决于所搭配的名词。此类搭配是常用的习惯用语,其意义可参见相应的名词。例如,短语 take care 在 care 词条下有解释说明。

  1. VERB (后接名词,用于描述动作或事件)
    You can use take followed by a noun to talk about an action or event, when it would also be possible to use the verb that is related to that noun. For example, you can say 'she took a shower' instead of 'she showered'.
    1. She was too tired to take a shower...
      她累得连澡都懒得冲。
    2. Betty took a photograph of us...

    1. The Patriotic Front took power after a three-month civil war...
      经过 3 个月内战,爱国阵线夺取了政权。
    2. I felt it was important for women to join and take a leading role...

  3. Take and bring are both used to talk about carrying something or accompanying someone somewhere, but take is used to suggest movement away from the speaker, and bring is used to suggest movement towards the speaker. Anna took the book to school with her... Bring your calculator to every lesson. In the first sentence, took suggests that Anna left the speaker when she went to school. In the second sentence, bring suggests that the person and the calculator should come to the place where the speaker is. You could also say 'Anna brought the book to school with her' to suggest that Anna and the speaker were both at school, and 'Take your calculator to every lesson' to suggest that the speaker will not be not present at the lesson.
    take 和 bring 都可以用来表示随身携带某物或陪伴某人去某地,不过从说话者的角度来说,take 表示远离说话者的动作,而 bring 表示向说话者靠近的动作如:Anna took the book to school with her (安娜, 带着那本书去上学),Bring your calculator to every lesson (每次上课都把计算器带来)。在第一个句子里,took 暗示安娜离开说话者所在的地点去上学;在第二个句子里,bring 暗示计算器的携带者应该把计算器带到说话者所在的地点。为了暗示安娜和说话者同在学校,可以说 Anna brought the book to school with her;而为暗示说话者不会在课堂上,可以说 Take your calculator to every lesson。
