对于较常用的词组make up
最基本的意思当然还是“组成”
make up作为动词的时候
即表示组成或构成某物,常与介词of 连用。
例句:The team is made up of four members. (这个队伍由四名成员组成。)
或者是“弥补”的意思
例句:He tried to make up for his mistake by working harder.(她试图通过更加努力工作来弥补自己的错误。)
而如果是二者之间有符号“-”连接
即写成make-up
则一般直接为名词,表示“化妆品”
例如 “make-up artist ”,就是“化妆师”的意思
例句:Brown is a famous American make-up artist.(布朗是美国著名的化妆师)
或者写成词组“make-up examination”
则是“补考”的意思
例句:Inside same school year, accumulative total fails course (after classics make-up examination) 3 person that reach 3 above, should grant fail to go up to the next grade. (同一学年内,累计不及格课程(经补考后)三门及三门以上者,应予留级。)
