【LA原创】从see to it谈英语习语学习方法1 u: n }8 N: g* T6 v1 Y

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。* ]) F. [( g* u( k7 [
0 X- T, ?) {1 |9 t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。9 I0 z6 X Z' q+ b* r1 O

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。
: ]7 \$ ^* D0 I
: a2 B4 H$ W( n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。
2 D: ?' g- }: q6 ?9 k7 @( D I/ r) ? V- _, \8 O- x
see sb to sth: To escort or accompany somebody to a place or means of departure.
, W6 T3 m B9 s* f( U1 f
5 \. b. \! v6 n% \: O0 b: v3 M; I-- I'm just going to see our guests to the door; I'll be back shortly.( K$ E! I( m) L$ [4 N) T
-- Jonathan, would you please see Mr. Thompson to the bus station?8 M. V) s' A+ ~
4 f6 d) h& T t* V ]& L" y" g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。
' T; P4 y! I, x, q4 f x
7 e* q8 V7 w' tsee to sb/sth: To care for, attend to, or deal with somebody or something., w6 W" y# x& |/ X) H
3 }. m" [- w5 ?5 g-- I'll see to the guests, if you wouldn't mind getting the table ready.
. ]8 @; X( h; d4 c' d-- Would you see to changing the sheets on the beds upstairs?
: K- b' N8 I: v3 p, O. B O, k1 {9 ^' I* n3 `9 N9 ]
再看有上下文情境的情况:
9 I& w. T% G! s4 E0 j3 r5 [8 O
2 {6 A# u4 ?- K6 P$ A0 z. ?$ {A: "We need someone to organize the store room before our next shipment arrives."! R. ]3 e; l6 M/ X* [# }- F
B: "I'll see to it."
; w# u5 j5 v8 @# }' q
& W- R$ Y# L1 a/ z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”。
/ j: P4 |% y; W1 r K# Q+ A; N' C+ T1 K0 c: C) j9 \# v
see to it: make certain.* ^0 O- B1 d J# v& t" ^6 p' m
9 {2 }, M( e2 S! A: F6 e3 w* 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。
7 m+ o0 `$ _4 Y, B' `4 w8 S3 {' R! Q$ A3 X
-- I'll see to it that the store room is organized before our next shipment arrives. E+ w/ w d1 x V- g" n

see to it that ... : make certain that ...
