Meaning
“Shut off” 是一个常用的英语短语动词,主要表示关闭某物,通常与电器、设备或水源等相关。比如,当你完成使用家用电器后,可以“shut off”它以节约能源。这一短语常用于日常生活中,例如:“Please shut off the lights when you leave the room.” 这里的意思是“离开房间时请关灯”。
在使用时,“shut off”通常需要一个对象,也就是说,需要明确指出要关闭的是什么。这个表达不仅适用于物理设备,还可以用于描述停止某种活动或过程,比如“shut off the water supply”(关闭供水)。这个短语相较于“turn off”可能更强调一个完全的关闭或停止。
