keep sb. posted
1. 解詞釋義
對(duì)話中keep you posted是一句非常常用的辦公用語(yǔ),就是“隨時(shí)告訴你進(jìn)展”的意思,同意思的跟keep搭配的短語(yǔ)還有keep you in the loop,keep you updated on。I will keep you posted.的意思是“我會(huì)與您保持聯(lián)絡(luò)。(沒問題,我不會(huì)忘記的,我會(huì)隨時(shí)讓你知道我的近況。)”此句中的post是當(dāng)動(dòng)詞用,意思是“郵寄,轉(zhuǎn)遞”,過(guò)去的郵局是專門用來(lái)寄信的,是人們用來(lái)保持聯(lián)絡(luò)的一種方式,keep sb. Posted的英文解釋是:keep in touch with sb. 。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. We will keep you all posted on the progress of the renovation.
我們會(huì)把革新的進(jìn)展隨時(shí)告訴大家。
