74. I'm on a scheme that's called phased retirement; I had a six month break from work, after that I could apply for project work with the company I used to work for.
点睛
短语have a (some time) break在口语中经常出现,意为“休假(多长时间)”,其中break为名词,意为“休息;间歇”。短语apply for意为“申请(工作、职位等)”;used to意为“曾经”,用于指过去持续或经常发生的事;work for意为“为……工作”。考点归纳
used可以理解为动词use的过去式或过去分词,也可用作形容词,正因为此,有关used的短语常常让人感到混淆,这里特将其归纳如下:be used to do sth.意为“被用来做某事”,used为use(使用)的过去分词,表被动。如:
Sound can be used to measure temperature in the ocean. 声音可以用于测量海水的温度。
used to do sth.意为“过去常做某事,曾经做某事”,其中used为use的过去式。如:
I used to go to the beach every day. 我以前每天都去海滩。
be used to sth./doing sth.意为“习惯于,适应(做)某事”,其中used用作形容词。如:
I'm used to being alone. 我习惯了独自一人。
