Jennifer: I'm really annoyed with my roommate Sara.
Michelle: Why? She seems quite nice to me.
Jennifer: She's always running out of make-up and when she does she just uses mine without even asking.
Michelle: Hm, that's not very nice. Why don't you try locking it up?
Jennifer: I could, but she'd probably get really annoyed with me.
Michelle: Oh dear, you've got a bit of a problem there.
詹妮弗：我的室友薩拉實(shí)在討厭。
米歇爾：為什么？我看她這個(gè)人很不錯(cuò)。
詹妮弗：她自己的化妝品一用完了，就用我的，甚至不先問(wèn)問(wèn)我，而且經(jīng)常如此。
米歇爾：嗯，那實(shí)在不大好。為什么不試試把化妝品鎖起來(lái)？
詹妮弗：我可以鎖起來(lái)，但這可能令她很不高興。
米歇爾：唉，那實(shí)在有點(diǎn)麻煩。來(lái)源：考試大
She is always running out of make-up這一句，其實(shí)關(guān)乎兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞詞組(phrasal verb) : run out和make up。Run out是‘耗盡’，主詞(subject)可以是那耗盡的事物，也可以是耗盡那事物的人，而用of帶出那事物，例如：(1) Our store of firewood is beginning to run out（我們儲(chǔ)存的木柴快要用完了）。(2) I must go to the supermarket for some sugar - we've run out/I must go to the supermarket - we've run out of sugar（我們沒(méi)有糖了，得上超級(jí)市場(chǎng)買(mǎi)了）。
常用語(yǔ)to run out of time就是‘沒(méi)時(shí)間了’，例如：Time is running out. If we don't act now, we'll be ruined（時(shí)間已經(jīng)不多了，我們現(xiàn)在不行動(dòng)，就要完蛋了）。Make up作動(dòng)詞，有‘彌補(bǔ)’的意思，例如：He tried to make up the time lost by driving at a dangerously high speed（他以危險(xiǎn)的高速開(kāi)車(chē)，希望彌補(bǔ)失去的時(shí)間）?；瘖y可以彌補(bǔ)容貌的不足，所以也叫做make up，例如：She carefully made her face up before going out with her boyfriend（他和男朋友外出之前，先細(xì)心打扮）。而make-up作名詞，就是化妝品。留意Why don't you try locking it up?一語(yǔ)。Try之后可以用‘to＋原形動(dòng)詞(infinitive)’，也可用動(dòng)名詞(gerund)，但兩個(gè)句式的意思不同：一是指‘努力去做某事’，一是指‘試做某事看看有什么效果’。所以，I tried to lock it up是‘我努力試圖把它鎖上，但未必成功’；I tried locking it up是‘我把它鎖起來(lái)，看看有什么效果’。
