❶ “be free”在这里的意思是“有空的,空闲的”,“free”是形容词,例如:I'm

You can't expect people to work for free.(你不能期望大家免费为你工作。)
❷ “fold-up chairs”意为“折叠椅”,其中“fold-up”为复合形容词,表示“折叠
的”。
❸ “pick sb. up”的意思是“用车接某人”,例如:Could you pick me up around
eight?(你能在8点左右来接我吗?)另外,“pick sb. up”还有“逮捕某人,责
备某人”的意思,例如:Authorities picked Linden up at a border crossing.(当
局在边境的一个关口逮捕了林登。)She picked him up for using bad
language.(她指责他出言不逊。)
