###短語###

take a chance冒險；碰運氣

Clay decided to take a chance and asked Rhonda to marry him.
恪磊決定冒險向蓉德求婚。
Paul is always afraid to take a chance.
保羅老是害怕碰運氣。
英語廣角鏡
chance 在這裡是「機會；運氣」的意思，take a chance 在這裡是指嘗試作某事，雖然可能會失敗、會有危險或是很大的風險，與「碰運氣」意思相近。
另外，chance 在這裡也可以使用複數形變成 chances。所以 take chances、take no chances 都見得到。
下面還有幾個片語也是「冒險」的意思，同時記下來吧！
take/run a risk
take/run risks
take (one's) chance

take advantage of利用機會；佔便宜

You should take advantage of the free classes.
這些課是免費的，你應該充分利用這個大好機會。
Krystal took advantage of the cultural opportunities in New York.
克莉思朵藉機在紐約體驗多種文化。
The man took advantage of the tourists and sold them fake watches.
這男的賣冒牌手錶佔觀光客的便宜。
Don't take advantage of Estelle's kindness.
不要因為愛絲黛人好，就佔她便宜。
英語廣角鏡
advantage 是「優勢」的意思。take advantage of 後面如果接的是「某人」，這個片語通常是指「占人便宜」。
不過，有時候 take advantage of (someone) 從上下文中，也可以指「利用某人在當地的機會，向他請益」。例如，Pastor John is going to stay here for a week, so do take advantage of him（約翰牧師要在這裡停留一週，所以要好好把握這個機會）。
在這裡 take advantage of him 就不是「佔他便宜」，而是「好好把握這個機會向他多多請教」了。


take after相像

It's too bad Wendy doesn't take after her older sister, who is very hardworking.
溫蒂不像她姊姊一樣努力，真是太糟糕了。
Ian takes after his father in the way he always asks questions.
伊恩問問題的樣子就和他爹一樣。
英語廣角鏡
take after 通常是用於「家人」外表、舉止或是個性之間的相像。例如，我們可以說，he takes after his mother in appearance，中文意思就是「他長得和他媽媽很像。」下列還有其他說法可以描述：
He resembles his mother.
He looks like his mother.
He and his mother look alike.
另外，take after 也是「傚法；模仿」的意思，用英文解釋就是 follow the example of。所以，在第二個例句中，我們也可以說「伊恩問問題的樣子是從他爹那裡學來的。」
take for granted視為理所當然
I take it for granted that you are going to help me.
我把你的幫忙視為理所當然。
Randy took his wife for granted.
藍迪把太太所做一切視為理所當然。

英語廣角鏡
take for granted 在這裡是指「（某人）視（某事）為理所當然」，在第一個例句中，it 就是指 that 後面接的子句，也就是說話者視為理所當然的事。
我們也可以說 take (something) for granted。我們可以看看下面的例子，瞭解這樣的用法：
I have learnt not to take anything for granted.
我已經學到不要視任何事為理所當然。
Death and illness remind us not to take life for granted.
死亡和疾病提醒我們不要視生命為理所當然。
在第二個例句中，這個片語的用法是 take (someone) for granted。意思是「不去珍惜某人在身邊的時光或是把某人為你做的一切都覺得是理所當然、是應該的。」例如，我們可以說：children always take their parents for granted。這句話的意思就是「小孩子總是覺得父母為他們做的一切都是理所當然的，都是他們應該得到的。」
我們也可以說 don't take it for granted。提醒別人不要把「你生命中發生的好事或是別人的幫忙視為理所當然」。

take in收容；學習到

Tina decided to take the poor street cat in.
蒂娜決定收容那隻可憐的流浪貓。
The family took the children in for the night.
這家人讓孩子們留宿一晚。
The teacher taught so fast, it was hard for the students to take it all in.
老師教得好快，所以很難讓學生完全吸收。
Nancy loved all that she was taking in in the new class.
南西喜歡她在新課堂上學到的東西。

英語廣角鏡
take in 帶有「將東西帶進來」的意思，所以這個片語的兩個意思雖然看起來完全不相干，其實還是有共通之處，就是把「人、動物或是知識帶進來」的意思。
在第二句中，take in 是「留宿」的意思，可以用 put up 來代換，變成 the family put the children up for a night。
第三句和第四句中，take in 是「吸收」的意思，這個片語與 get it 或者是 catch (someone's) 意思相近。

take it忍受

After two weeks of rain, Henry couldn't take it anymore.
下了兩個禮拜的雨之後，亨利再也受不了了。
The company was too busy; employees couldn't take it.
公司太忙了，員工受不得了。
英語廣角鏡
take it 是「忍受」的意思。英文中表示「忍受」的字還有 tolerate、stand 和 endure。
另外，和 take it 意思相近的片語是 stand it。例如，爸爸可能會對兒子說：you're fooling around; I can't stand it（你整天都在鬼混，我真受不了你！）或是 the living room is too noisy. I can't stand it. (客廳太吵，我實在是受不了了啦！）

take off脫下；（飛機）起飛；發展很快

Please take your shoes off at the door.
進門的時候請脫鞋。
Jeff was hot so he took off his hat.
傑夫覺得熱，所以他把帽子脫下。
My plane takes off from Boston at seven-thirty.

The new company has really taken off; it is making money and expanding quickly.
新公司真的是鴻圖大展；賺了不少錢，並且發展得很快。
His business has taken off this year.
今年他的事業發展得很快。

英語廣角鏡
take off 作「脫下」用的時候，指的是「脫下的動作」，用於指脫下「衣物、鞋、襪」。相反詞是 put on，和 take off 一樣，指的是「穿上的動作」，如果指已經穿戴整齊了，是要用 wear 這個字喔。

take off 指「發展」時，通常是指「事業或產業」的迅速發展，例如，我們要說「她的演藝事業現在正在起飛。」英文就是 her acting career is just begging to take off。
要注意的是，當 take off 用在上面這三個意思的時候，take off 都不可以分開，如果是 take (some time) off 就變成是指「請假」了。例如，「小強要請兩個禮拜的假去夏威夷玩。」英文的表達方式就是 Jon is going to take two weeks off to visit Hawaii。

take on承擔；較量

Debbie is taking on new responsibilities at work.
黛比在工作上接下了新責任。
Larry had to take on a second job to pay his bills.
賴瑞得接下第二份工作去付他的帳單。
Sally took on her brother in a game of chess.
莎莉和她弟弟較量棋藝。
Kenny Green is going to take the mayor on in the next election.
肯尼格林要問鼎下任市長。

英語廣角鏡
take on 作「承擔」時，通常是指承擔、接受「工作或是責任」，尤其是指困難的工作。例如，我們可以說：Susan's father is a workaholic; he always takes on too much work。（蘇珊的爸爸是個工作狂，他總是攬太多工作在自己身上。）
另外，take on 作「較量」的時候，意思是「在競賽中和對手一分高下，一決勝負」。

take out約會；（食物）外帶

Who are you taking out tonight?
你今天晚上要跟誰約會？
Clay took Rhonda out to dinner and a movie.
恪磊帶蓉德去吃晚餐看電影。
I'd like to order some food to take out.
我要點些食物外帶。
I'd like a large Hawaii pizza to take out.
我要外帶一個夏威夷比薩。
英語廣角鏡
take out 除了指兩個人約會之外，也可以指邀請別人出去吃晚餐，不過如果你說 I am taking her out to dinner，通常是指「我要請她吃晚餐」。
情侶交往，從早期的曖昧，到之後的月見雲開，一定少不了兩人單獨出去增進感情這一段。不過，從兩個人「出去」到正式「交往」，英文中可是有不一樣的用語喔！現在我們一起來看看這些有趣的用語！
meet up with 主要是指朋友之間的會面，還不算是男女之間的約會。
have an appointment with 朋友之間的見面，或是和醫生、律師等的約會
go out with 情侶之間的交往
date with 情侶之間的約會
另外，take out 在當「外帶」用的時候，兩個字還可以連起來變成 take-out 成為形容詞。例如，我們可以說：I'd like to make a take-out order。這句話的意思就是「我要點餐外帶」。
除了 take out 之外，to go 也是很常用的片語，在美國速食店裡，服務生在你點完餐後一定會問你：(is that) for here or to go?（要內用還是外帶？）這句很重要，一定要學起來喔！

take (one's) time慢慢來

Victor likes to take his time and do things correctly.
維多喜歡好整以暇地把事情做好。
Don't hurry; take your time!
不用趕，慢慢來！
英語廣角鏡
take your time 這個片語十分常用，指的是「在一段時間內從容不迫地把某件事情做好」。如果要說「慢慢來，把你的功課寫完」英文的表達方式就是 take your time doing your homework。另外，「媽媽從容地準備聖誕晚餐」。就是 Mother takes her time preparing the Christmas dinner。

我從這次經驗裡得到的結論是...來說
我們可以用
I'm taking home some useful tips from this experience.
(我從這次經驗裡獲得了一些實用的撇步

若你要強調"已經"得到了結論
可以用 have + taken
例如 I've taken home some useful tips from this experience.



我將把這次的教訓牢記在心
可以用這樣來表示:

I've taken home the lesson learned from this incident.
我已經把這次意外的教訓牢記在心。

或是
I'm taking home the wonderful experiences from our trip to Italy.
我會把這次義大利旅行的美好記憶常存心中。


為什麼take home會演化成"牢記在心"呢?
因為在西方人的心中，home這個字代表的不僅僅是"家"這個場所，更是心靈歇息的，一個人成長的所在。

所以當你take something home的時候，就代表你已經將這個事物當作是你生活的一部份囉!

完整的句子如下
To GM, selling hybrids at a loss didn't make business sense, so it took a 
pass.

這句話是什麼意思呢?
尤其是 take a pass這個片語的意思是什麼? 好像很多國外的網站都會用這個片語
Take a pass 的意思是 "不在考慮之中"
簡單的說就是 "不要"

玩牌的時候.. 我們跟莊家說, "pass", 口語解釋說 "不要牌"
因為不在考慮之中

Take在此是個動詞, 就是做這樣的決定"pass" (不要)

雖然之前有問是take it serious 還是take it seriously 哪一個對，雖然說是take it seriously 文法上正確，但是用google搜尋反而take it serious搜尋到的結果比take it seriously的筆數還多，是不是take it serious跟take it easy一樣越來越多人用，進而被大家接受，改天serious 也有副詞的用法? 因為大家現在反而比較常用take it serious所以我不知道要選用哪個才好，還要再麻煩大家一次幫忙解答。
Take it serious 唸起來比較順 的確很多美國人會這樣講
可是 take it seriously才是正確的文法
就跟現在很多學生的國語程度一樣
越來越多人"得/的" 搞不清楚

take no prisoners
直譯為：
不收戰孚
這裡的 “prisoner” 指的不是一般的犯人，而是戰爭中的俘虜。

在一場戰爭中，如果 “take no prisoners (不收戰俘）”，就意謂著：
“ 全力出擊，拼個你死我活，格殺勿論 ...” 的意思。
在日常生活中，用到這句俚語，一般意謂著：
「 竭盡全力，手下絕不留情。」
