1. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri, along the Mississippi River. (P17)
【归纳】 (1) bring sb up表示“培养,养育或教育某人”, 多用于被动语态。如:
Her parents died when she was a baby and she was brought up by her aunt.
(2) bring sth up意思是“提出某事”。如:
There’s no need to bring up his past when we are considering him for employment.
(3) bring up 还可表示“呕吐”。如:
Jane can’t come, as she’s been bringing up all morning.
【延伸】 bring down下跌;bring in引进;bring about 带来,产生;bring out拿出来,生产,出版;bring back 带回;bring to an end 结束。
【易错点】 bring up和educate 有区别,bring up 表示孩子在家里受到的道德和社交训练;education则用来表示人们在中小学、大学等场所受到的训练(特别是智能和文化上的训练)。
如果我们说一个孩子badly brought up,那么,这可能意味着这孩子不懂礼貌或自私自利。说一个人well educated,则是说他受过好的教育、上过好的学校或好的大学。
