编者按:“come about,come across,come down,come up……这些长相酷似的短语为什么会是一道题的四个选项?难道答案是ABCD?”你是否常常因为这些“N胞胎”而抓狂?专门为大家排忧解难的小编邀请资深英语教师来为大家详细剖析几组这类易混短语,走过路过千万不要错过哦!
●come高频短语
1. come about 表示“发生,产生”。例如:—Can you explain how it came about that you were late again, Jimmy? —Sorry, sir. My alarm clock went wrong. —吉姆,你能解释一下你怎么又迟到了吗?—不好意思,我的闹钟坏了。
辨析:come about和happen,take place的区别。
come about表示“发生、产生”,多指事情已经发生了,但还不知道为什么,常用于疑问句和否定句。happen常指具体事件的发生,特别指那些偶然的突发性事件或未能预见的“发生”。take place通常指非偶然性的“(某事)按计划进行或按计划发生”,即这种事件的发生一定有某种原因或事先的安排。例如:
(1)Do you know how the air accident came about? 你知道空难是怎么发生的吗?
(2)Maybe something unexpected happened. 可能发生了一些出乎意料的事情。
(3)The meeting will take place next Friday. 会议将在下周五举行。
2. come across表示“偶然遇见,碰上”,相当于run across或meet by chance。

(2011天津卷)She came across an old friend of hers yesterday while she was shopping at the department store. 昨天在商店购物的时候,她碰到了她的老朋友。
3. come down 表示“倒下,降低,跌落,流传”。例如:
(1)The childs temperature came down in the morning.早上,孩子的体温降下来了。
(2)The girls necklace had come down to her from her grandmother.这女孩的项链是她祖母传下来的。
高考链接:(2006江苏卷)—Four dollars a pair? I think its a bit too much. —If you buy three pairs, the price for each will come down to three fifty. —4美元一双,有点贵。—如果你买三双的话,每双价格可下降为3.5美元。
4. come out 表示“出版,出来,(秘密等)泄露, 结果是,开花”。例如:Several republican senators have come out in support of ratification. 一些共和党参议员已站出来表示批准该条约。
辨析:come out和publish的区别。
come out表示“出版、发行”时,是不及物动词词组,主语就是书、唱片、杂志等,后面不能接宾语。而publish也表示“出版、发行”,但是是及物动词,后面可接宾语,有被动的结构。
