一、核心表达
get ready to do sth.
这是最常用的表达方式,强调为具体行动做直接准备。例如:
- "The meeting starts in 15 minutes, so get ready to do your presentation."(会议15分钟后开始,所以准备好你的演讲吧。)
be prepared to do sth.
强调思想或行动上的预备状态,侧重应对突发情况。例如:
- "Be prepared to stop the meeting if there's a power outage."(如果停电,要准备暂停会议。)
二、扩展表达
at this time of...
表示在特定时间或情境下的准备。例如:
"We're getting ready to launch the new product at this time of the year."(我们正在为今年这个时候推出新产品做准备。)
with... prepared
用于描述带有特定工具或心态的准备。例如:
"She arrived at the station with a map prepared."(她到达车站时带好了地图。)
三、注意事项
若需强调预防潜在危险,可用 be prepared to do sth.结合条件状语从句,如:
"If the weather turns bad, be prepared to cancel the picnic."(如果天气变坏,要准备取消野餐。)
在口语中, get ready to do sth.更为简洁自然,而 be prepared to do sth.常见于正式或书面语境。
