昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享show，show這個名字在新概念的學習中一定不陌生，可是這個詞還有著你完全想不到的意思，你知道嗎？
今天我們來看看show的有趣用法。
Show作為我們平時的極其常用詞之一，在我們的新三課本當中當然也是頻頻露面。
Lesson24 A skeleton in the cupboard
George showed me to the guestroom which, he said, was rarely used.
作為動詞，show基本用法之一即為show sb. around; show sth. to sb.，即出示，展示。
Lesson53 In the public interest
There was nothing in the record to show that the foreigner's complaint was justified and the Chief of Police stoutly denied the accusation.
這里當然是show作為動詞的又一基本意思啦，意為標明。
Lesson44 Speed and comfort
The real escapist can watch a free film show and sip champagne on some services.
這里show當名詞，意為演出。Show作為名詞還有音譯過來的“秀”以及展出等等意思，不過都大同小異。而作為名詞，其實也都基本離不開其本質的顯示，標明展示，出示等等意思。所以在這里我們就不一一列舉了。
我們來講一講show的短語意思吧！
1. Show off
Rose was showing off her engagement ring. 露絲那時正在炫耀她的訂婚戒指。
Show off的意思為炫耀，相信大家并不陌生，看rose那小表情就能知道show off的意思啦！
2. Show sb. the door
應該能聯想到中文的一個短語吧？——下逐客令。對，所以這個短語很是形象對嗎？
3. Show sb. who’s boss
相信這個短語對于蛋蛋后的你們會很實用哦！
My 6-year little nephew came to my home and played last weekend. He was actually turning the house into a mess and he even broke my model plane. In the end, I couldn’t stand it anymore. So I yelled at him and showed him who’s boss.
下面當你用這個短語的時候，是不是也會覺得威風凜凜呢？
4. Make a show of oneself這當中的show也可以換成exhibition或者scene.
—You know what? Steven stepped on a banana skin and fell down like a turned turtle.
—Oh, really?! He did make a show of himself. Everybody must have been laughing at him!
—Exactly!
根據show作名詞的意思以及這個場景，你應該猜到了make a show of oneself是當眾出丑，出洋相的意思了吧？哈哈！
