表示把东西“吹掉”时,blow away 与 blow off 有区别。
如:风把她的文件走了,应该说
The wind blew her papers away. √
The wind blew her papers off. X (off 后要接 something)
The wind blew her papers off the table. √
风把她桌上的文件吹走了。
——————
如果说:to blow someone off 与 to blow someone away, 意思不一样。
to blow someone off 不理睬、 放某人鸽子,忽视某人或某事(to ignore someone
or something; to not attend something where one is expected. )
I tried to talk to her in the bar, but she blew me off.
我在酒吧想和她说话,但她拒绝了我。
She knew that he had blown her off when he didn't even call her for a month.
当他已经一个月没给她打电话时,她已经知道她被他甩了。
to blow someone away 不是 “把某人吹走” 的意思,而是比喻某人或某物非常好,
让人佩服,印象深刻。
Last night's band concert blew me away.
昨晚的乐队音乐会让我惊叹。
You really blow me away for being so knowledgeable and yet so fun.
你不但知识渊博而且还很有趣,让我佩服得五体投地。
