36. I really can't afford any more interruptions right now.
點(diǎn)睛
afford本義為“給予;買(mǎi)得起”,引申開(kāi)來(lái)可以表示“承受”,如本句中的cannot afford就相當(dāng)于“不能承受”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
afford的用法十分靈活。如:
I can't afford to play game with you, sorry. 抱歉,我跟你玩不起。
Plenty of kids in this village can't afford to go to school (=can't afford education). 這個(gè)村子里的很多小孩都上不起學(xué)。
I'm too busy to afford an hour for lunch. 我太忙了,抽不出一個(gè)小時(shí)吃午飯。
