有坛友在发帖询问see to it的意思,并说,分开看每个字都认识,但合起来就不知所云。这里我想和大家分享一点个人经验,仅供参考。. K+ V. `6 P% j+ r9 J; P- N

学习方法因人而异。有人很擅长记忆信息碎片,而我更擅长逻辑思维。我认为,如果能在信息碎片之间挖掘出某些内在联系,不但能减轻记忆负担,更重要的是,能让人举一反三、事半功倍。3 D$ d2 T6 b8 v6 T/ ^+ n' t3 D
/ n) k$ Q; F& D5 U4 K对于习语来说,往往都是从某个意思很具体的说法引申而来。这个在中文里也是一样,比如“卡脖子”和“挖墙脚”应该分别是从斗殴和破坏建筑的行为抽象而来。. i( \0 e5 g" y9 M: b2 c
( S5 v6 Y, C0 r1 p1 Y9 a- u& \
要理解see to it,不妨先从具体的说法see sb to sth开始。它意思是“将某人护送到某个地方”,非常容易理解。
# J! U( P6 V8 t( c4 n, p, Z' z, m3 V
see sb to sth: To escort or accompany somebody to a place or means of departure. P$ |4 I4 r3 X
; \- i+ U- O3 e+ H: O-- I'm just going to see our guests to the door; I'll be back shortly.
2 J* ~. K; R( t. [3 }-- Jonathan, would you please see Mr. Thompson to the bus station?: E" U9 u" h% x1 b5 l
( s- p' o6 a0 d/ C
在这基础上的一种简化变异,就是干脆把see的宾语与to的宾语二选一,并将see to作为一个短语动词看待,后面接一个宾语完事,同时意义发生了第一步抽象,成为“照顾、伺候、处理”。这种抽象应该是很自然而然的。
4 I" {& z$ s: G# Z7 y- k- w+ r$ e: z) s, I4 V2 N5 l. n
see to sb/sth: To care for, attend to, or deal with somebody or something.) x4 h: d2 T* _ [
; Y! G1 P3 n& d" ~! W
-- I'll see to the guests, if you wouldn't mind getting the table ready./ l, |3 I2 d9 S: T- d2 G. H
-- Would you see to changing the sheets on the beds upstairs?
& D. o$ j& f$ {" z$ i& c
, w. P8 u Q+ d. [; N4 P# f再看有上下文情境的情况:6 [) h3 k5 Q+ u! \ p) q' @. X
- {# p& V9 j( `. W3 D! a% V0 j* lA: "We need someone to organize the store room before our next shipment arrives."
! }4 f# k5 H! O7 xB: "I'll see to it."& a: G% u) V2 K+ z2 l5 L$ Q
6 \5 s' Z, ]" J1 W- A
这就是第二次抽象:将see to的宾语置换成一个泛指代词it,意思自然成为了“确保此事”。" }* M- @, X0 t F. K3 s8 ~/ G. G7 `
. a% [/ C3 w/ T8 e, lsee to it: make certain.# Y4 k6 G9 u& Y% w0 {
3 b8 e, I% P3 I$ h4 h4 M如果没有上下文,则要么将it还原成organizing the store room before our next shipment arrives;要么在it之后加一个that引导的同位语从句,明确说明。) C( h; g' T" q6 `% ~
; f, p6 Q5 p: w+ }4 b
-- I'll see to it that the store room is organized before our next shipment arrives.
R J' b/ j3 t, B1 T-- I want you to see to it that she never comes in here again., f h) O e: L% I4 e
