Hi everybody, and welcome back.
2
Today, we're going to take another look at the preposition down and what it can mean when it is used with phrasal verbs.
3
So, in a previous video we saw that down can mean topple.
4
Now, we can extend the meaning of topple to get the idea of defeat.
5
And the reason for this is that when somebody is defeated in a physical confrontation, they typically tend to topple over.
6
So with that said, how do you think we could describe this animation?
7
Here, a boxer strikes his opponent and defeats him So we can say the boxer knocks down his opponent.
8
Knocks means strike and down means defeat.
9
So the sentence just means The boxer strikes and defeats his opponent.
10
Or the boxer defeats his opponent by striking him.
11
Okay, so let's try a similar example.
12
How do you think we could describe this using a phrasal verb with down in which down means defeat?
13
Here, a samurai cuts his opponent and defeats him.
14
So we can say the samurai cuts down his opponent.
15
Cuts means cut and down means defeat so the sentence just means the samurai cuts and defeats his opponent.
16
Or the samurai defeats his opponent by cutting him.
17
Now, down can also mean defeat in a metaphorical way.
18
So with that in mind, how do you think we could describe this using a phrasal verb with down where down means to metaphorically defeat something?
19
Here, a committee votes against a proposal and defeats it.
20
So we can say the committee votes down the proposal.
21
Votes means vote, and down means defeat.
22
So the sentence simply means the committee votes and defeats the proposal.
23
Or the committee defeats the proposal by voting.
24
So, I hoped this helped you understand the preposition down a little bit better and why it can sometimes mean defeat.
25
And, we'll see you next time.
26
Cheers.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
