v.|snatch up;抓起,捉住
“caught up”是英語中常見的短語動詞,其含義根據語境可分為以下三類:
1. 被卷入(情緒或事件)
表示因外界因素陷入某種狀态,常帶有被動性。例如:“She was caught up in the excitement of the crowd”(她被人群的興奮情緒感染)。這種用法強調外部環境對個體的強烈影響,常見于描述突發事件或群體行為。
2. 追趕進度或彌補差距
指在落後情況下通過努力達到預期标準。例如:“After missing two classes, he stayed late to catch up on assignments”(缺課兩次後,他熬夜補作業)。該含義突出時間或任務上的緊迫性。
3. 專注于或沉浸于某事
描述對某事物産生深度投入的狀态。例如:“They were so caught up in their conversation that they missed the train”(他們沉浸在談話中,以至于錯過了火車)。此語境下常與介詞“in”連用,表達注意力高度集中。
該短語的語義演變反映了英語中“catch”從具體動作(抓取)到抽象概念(感知狀态)的延伸,這一過程符合語言學家對動詞隱喻化的普遍觀察(詳見語義學相關研究)。
“Caught up”是動詞短語“catch up”的過去式和過去分詞形式,具體含義需結合語境理解:
根據具體語境選擇合適釋義,注意搭配的介詞差異。
