种植物 英语(Grow 与 Grow up的区别和用法)

Do plants grow or grow up? And what about children?

植物生长用 grow 还是 grow up？那么孩子长大用哪个呢？

In this video you're going to learn how we use these two verbs and fix some very common mistakes. Grow has several different but similar meanings, so let's start with some examples.

在本期视频中，你将学习如何使用这两个动词，并纠正一些很常见的错误。grow 有几个不同但很相似的意思，所以我们先来举一些例子。

What things grow? Plants grow.

什么东西会生长？植物会生长。

They get bigger and taller. And animals grow, for example puppies.

它们变得越来越大，越来越高。动物也会成长，比如小狗。

They grow a lot in the first six months. And children.

它们在头六个月会长得很多。还有孩子。

They're always growing. Hey, you've grown since I last saw you.

他们一直在成长。嘿，从我上次见你之后，你长大了。

You always say that, Vicki. It's true.

你总是这么说，薇姬。确实。

Yeah. So we were talking about height here — how tall he is.

是啊。我们刚才在讨论身高——他有多高。

Do you know how tall you are? Well actually, I am almost five feet tall like an adult.

你知道你有多高吗？嗯，事实上，我差不多有五英尺（约 1.52 米）高，像个成年人了。

OK, so that's the first meaning of grow — get bigger and taller. So what else grows?

好，这就是 grow 的第一个意思——变大变高。那还有什么会用 grow 形容呢？

A queue or a line of people can grow. The population of a country or city can grow.

排队的人会越来越多。一个国家或一座城市的人口可以增长。

Companies can grow. Their sales can grow, and perhaps their profits too.

公司可以成长。他们的销售额会增长，或许他们的利润也会增长。

Our profits have grown by 50% this year so we're doing very well. So in these examples, grow means increase in size and number.

今年我们的利润增长了 50%，所以我们做得很好。在这些例子中，grow 的意思是规模和数量的增加。

OK, here's another common meaning of grow. It can mean become.

好，再看 grow 的另一个常见意思。它可以是成为的意思。

I think it's going to rain. Really?

我觉得要下雨了。真的吗？

Yeah, the sky's growing dark. Oh yeah.

是的，天空越来越暗了。噢，是啊。

So here growing means 'gradually beginning to do something'. We use 'grow' like this with adjectives, so we can grow bored, we can grow impatient, and we can grow excited.

所以这里 growing 的意思是“逐渐开始做某事”。我们把 grow 和形容词这样连用，这样我们就可以“变得无聊”，我们可以“变得不耐烦”，我们还可以“变得兴奋”。

These are all things that happen over a period of time and growing means becoming. Great.

这些都是在一段时间内发生的事情，growing 表示成为。很好。

Now you know the main meanings of grow, so what about grow up. This is a phrasal verb and we use it to talk about human beings.

现在你知道了“grow”的主要含义，那“grow up”呢？这是一个动词短语，我们用它来形容人类。

When we develop from a child into an adult, we grow up. I grew up in Brooklyn in New York, but now I live in Philadelphia.

当我们从一个孩子成长为一个成年人时，我们就长大了。我在纽约布鲁克林长大，但现在我住在费城。

So Jay is talking about the time in his life when he was becoming an adult here. Another example.

所以杰说的是他在这里长大成人的那段时光。再举个例子。

What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a pilot.

你长大后想做什么？我想成为一名飞行员。

So you want to fly planes? Yes.

所以你想开飞机？是的。

'When you grow up' means, 'when you become an adult'. Of course, some people never really grow up.

“when you grow up”的意思是“当你长大成人时”。当然，有些人永远也长不大。

Oh, grow up, Jay! So here's a phrase we use when we want someone to behave in a more mature and responsible way.

成熟点吧，杰！那么，当我们想让某人表现得更成熟、更负责任时，我们会用到这个短语。

Now, if someone has grown from a child into an adult, we can say they've grown up. Parents might say they have grown-up children.

现在，如果某人已经从一个孩子成长为成年人，我们可以说他们已经长大了。父母可能会说他们的孩子已经长大了。

'Grown-up' is an adjective and we use it to describe fully developed and mature adults. And 'grown-up' can also be a noun.

“grown-up”是一个形容词，我们用它来形容完全发育和成熟的成年人。而且“grown-up”也可以用作名词。

A grown-up is another way of saying an adult. But it's a childish way of speaking.

grown-up 是成年人的另一种说法。但这是一种幼稚的说话方式。

It's a word we use when we're talking with children. So I'm a grown-up.

它是我们和孩子们说话时会用的词。所以，我是个成年人。

Yeah. Karate.

是啊。空手道。

Karate. Yeah, right.

空手道。是啊，没错。

Grow is an irregular verb — grow, grew, grown. But there's something else you should know.

grow 是不规则动词——原形 grow，过去式 grew，过去分词 grown。但还有一件事你应该知道。

Have a look at this example. Is grow a transitive or intransitive verb here?

看看这个例子。这里 grow 是及物动词还是不及物动词？

It's intransitive which means there's no object. The population doesn't grow something.

它是不及物动词，也就是说没有宾语。人口不会增长什么东西。

It just grows. And what about this example?

人口只是增长。那么这个例子呢？

Same thing. No object.

一样。没有宾语。

OK, one more. Ah, this one's different.

好，再来一个。啊，这个不一样。

There's an object here. We're growing something.

这里有一个宾语。我们在种东西。

We're growing lots of flowers on the deck this year. I'm growing geraniums in this pot and look at these little plants.

今年我们在露天平台上种了很多花。我在这个花盆里种了天竺葵，看看这些小植物。

I've grown them all from seed. They're wild flowers.

我都是用种子种出来的。它们是野花。

So grow can be an intransitive or a transitive verb. It depends what we're talking about, but with plants it can be either.

所以 grow 可以是不及物动词，也可以是及物动词。这要看我们说的是什么，但对植物来说，这两种情况都有可能。

We can say 'We grow plants' or 'Plants grow'. There are a few other things like this.

我们可以说“我们种植物”或者“植物生长”。还有其他一些类似的例子。

Bacteria for example. Bacteria can grow or we can grow bacteria.

以细菌为例。细菌可以生长，我们也可以培养细菌。

And then there's our hair and nails. We can say our hair grows and we can also say we're growing our hair — allowing it to get longer.

还有我们的头发和指甲。我们可以说我们的头发在生长，我们也可以说我们在让头发生长——让它长得更长。

And finger nails. Our nails grow but we can also grow our nails.

还有手指甲。我们的指甲会生长，但我们也可以说长指甲。

Another thing — beards. I'm not going to shave today.

还有一个——胡子。我今天不打算刮胡子。

Really? Yes, I'm thinking of growing a beard.

真的吗？是的，我在考虑留胡子。

What do you think? I don't think it's a good idea.

你怎么看？我觉得这不是个好主意。

What do you think? So growing a beard means allowing your beard to grow.

你觉得呢？所以留胡子就是让你的胡子长起来。

Now what about that other verb — grow up? Is it transitive or intransitive or both?

那么另一个动词 grow up 呢？它是及物的还是不及物的，还是兼而有之？

Let's see. Have a look at this example.

让我们来看看。看看这个例子。

What do you think? It's intransitive here.

你怎么看？这里是不及物动词。

There's no object. Are you thinking, but what about Brooklyn, Vicki?

没有宾语。你在想，那布鲁克林呢，薇姬？

Yeah, but notice that word 'in'. There's no direct object here.

是的，但是请注意“in”这个词。这里没有直接宾语。

'Grow up' is not followed directly by a noun. Another example.

grow up 后面没有直接接名词。再看个例子。

Transitive or intransitive? Intransitive again.

及物动词还是不及物动词？还是不及物动词。

'Grow up' is always intransitive. We grow up, but we can't grow up something.

grow up 一直是不及物动词。我们长大了，但我们不能长大什么东西。

Remember that if you can because students often make mistakes with that. We grow up, but we can't grow up something.

如果可以的话，请记住这点，因为学生在这一点上经常犯错误。我们长大了，但我们不能长大什么东西。

I have three questions for you. First one.

我有三个问题要问你。第一个。

Are these two sentences correct? The first one is correct but the second one is wrong.

这两个句子正确吗？第一句是对的，第二句是错的。

We only use 'grow up' to talk about children. It means develop into an adult and become mature.

我们只用“grow up”来形容孩子。它的意思是成长为一个成年人，变得成熟。

We could say this though, but here 'up' would go with the wall. It's not the phrasal verb 'grow up'.

不过我们可以这样说，但是在这里，up 和 wall 连在一起。它不是动词短语“grow up”。

OK, second question. Are these sentences correct?

好，第二个问题。这些句子正确吗？

Yes, they're both correct, but they mean different things. 'The children grew' means they got bigger and taller.

是的，它们都是正确的，但它们的意思不同。“The children grew”的意思是他们长大了，长高了。

'The children grew up' means they became adults. OK, last one.

“The children grew up”的意思是他们长大成人了。好，最后一个。

What do you think? Are they correct?

你怎么看？它们是正确的吗？

The first one is correct but the second one is wrong. When we're talking about height we use grow.

第一句是对的，第二句是错的。当我们谈论身高时，我们使用 grow。

Grow up is about becoming more mature and we just grow up. We don't grow up something.

grow up 就是指变得更加成熟，而我们就只是长大了。我们不会长大什么东西。

Did you get them right? Well done!

你答对了吗？做得好！
