1．make vt., vi.

及物动词make的原义为“制造”，但它经常用于一些固定的结构，最常见的为make +（冠词）+名词形式。因名词的不同其含义也稍有不同：

I tried to make conversation.

我试图找个话题。

If you like, I'll make the beds this morning.

如果你愿意，今天早上我来铺床。

Don't make so much noise when I'm reading.

我看书时你（们）别这么吵闹。

他保证一星期后将书还回来。

If you make trouble again, I'll send you home.

你如果再捣蛋，我就把你送回家。

他挣钱多，花钱也多。

Can you make a speech for our students?

您能为我们的学生演讲一次吗？

I'm sorry to tell you that you've made a big mistake.

我很遗憾地告诉你，你犯了个大错误。

在表示“下定决心”、“拿定王意”时要用词组make up one's mind:

Have you made up your mind to set off tomorrow morning?

你已下定决心要明天早上出发了吗？

我已经尽力而为了，但我考试还是没及格。
