1. take some water 喝點(diǎn)兒水

take有很多意思，在這里，它的意思是“吃，喝”。例如：She likes to take tea with her Grandma. 她喜歡和奶奶一起喝茶。

2. forget to do… 忘記做……

forget的意思是“忘記”，可是忘記也分兩種哦！一種是忘記去做某件事，比如：我出門忘記關(guān)門了，結(jié)果我家的小貓跑出去了；還有一種是做過(guò)了某件事但是忘了，比如：我已經(jīng)買了作業(yè)本，但是我忘了，于是我又買了一次。在這里的“forget to do…”表示“忘記去做……”；而表示“忘記做過(guò)……”則要用“forget doing…”。例如：

I forgot to tell her about it. 我忘記告訴她這件事了。

I forgot telling her about it. 我忘記我已把這事告訴過(guò)她了。
