"keep quiet"是由動詞"keep"和形容詞"quiet"組成的英語短語動詞,主要包含兩層含義:
保持安靜
指物理上不出聲的狀态。例如在圖書館需要"keep quiet"(保持安靜)。這種用法常見于公共場合的行為規範,如會議紀律要求參與者"keep quiet during presentations"(在演講期間保持安靜)。
保守秘密
引申義指不透露敏感信息。牛津詞典記載該短語可表示"to not tell people about something"(不向他人透露某事),如員工被要求"keep quiet about the merger plans"(對合并計劃保密)。柯林斯詞典特别指出該用法常接介詞about構成"keep quiet about something"結構。
語法結構上,該短語既可作不及物動詞(如The child kept quiet),也可接賓語構成及物用法(如Keep the secret quiet)。韋氏詞典強調當表示"保守秘密"時,通常需要搭配介詞短語或從句說明保密内容。在實際使用中需注意:及物用法時賓語要置于動詞與形容詞之間,如"keep the children quiet"(讓孩子保持安靜)。
