Robbie: So, are you good at using verbs like to “get away with?”
Robbie: 那你会不会用“get away with”这个短语?
Jennifer: I think so. Using that type of verb is easy. You just need to know how and when to use it.
Jennifer: 会，这个动词短语很简单。你得知道怎么用，什么时候用。
Robbie: Okay, for example?
Robbie: 好，比如说呢?
Jennifer: The phrase “get away with” means to not get caught or punished for doing something wrong. For example - the student said she had studied for the test but she didn't. She got a good grade anyway, so she got away with it.
Jennifer: “get away with”这个短语的意思是侥幸逃离，逃脱惩罚。比如说，一个学生说为了考试努力学习了，可是她没有。结果她考的分数很不错，所以她只是侥幸成功了。
Robbie: So in this sentence it means that she should have studied but it turned out all right anyway?
Robbie: 在这个句子中，意思是她应该努力学习，虽然结果却还过得去。
Jennifer: Yes, that's right.
Jennifer: 是，就是这样。
Robbie: Okay. So, if I say “the students would love to get away with skipping school.” It means to skip school and not get caught, right?
Robbie: 好，那么，如果我说“学生就爱逃课。“get away with”的意思就是逃学没被捉住，是吗?
Jennifer: You have used it correctly, but don't ever encourage children to skip school!
Jennifer: 句子是对的，但是不要鼓励孩子们逃课!
Robbie: I would never! Okay, now I will give you another example. Do you think he could get away with using cheap gas in his car?
Robbie: 我才不会!好了， 我给你举一些别的例子。你觉得他能凑合着用廉价燃气吗?
Jennifer: That's a good example. My guess is that he couldn't!
Jennifer: 例子举得好，我猜不行!
Robbie: Yeah! Okay, now let's watch some conversations with more examples.
Robbie: 对哦!好了，我们来看看一些有更多例子的对话吧。
