Book 3 Unit 3 重点短语讲解

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。

2. Not at all. Go right ahead. (P18)
