前几天台风“苏拉”登陆广东,深圳等地全市停课、延迟开学。刚送走“苏拉”,台风“海葵”又登陆了,导致福建多地紧急停课

“停”是stop,“课”是class,“停课”可不是stop class

一、短暂的“停课”

台风来了,不是不走了,只是短暂地停留几天就走。

所以,短暂的“停课”可以用“suspend / səˈspend; səˋspɛnd/使(某事物)暂停”这个词来表达,即:

suspend class

Mini V got the news that classes at all schools were to remain suspended.

小V我(VOA英语城)刚刚得到消息,所有学校都将继续停课。

还可以用其被动语态形式:

the class has been suspended

The class has been suspended, and all Mini V's students left school at 16:00.

停课了,小V我(VOA英语城)的所有学生都在16:00时离开了学校

二、某个同学被“停学”

这时,可以拓展刚学的知识,可以用:

sb. is suspended from school

如果是停工或停职就用:

sb. is suspended from work

One of Mini V's students is suspended from school for three days for bad conduct.

小V我(VOA英语城)的一个学生因行为不端被停学三天。

三、长时间“停课”

像刚刚结束的暑假,还有这个学期末要放的寒假,这种长时间的“停课”就不可以刚才说的suspend class来表达了。

长时间的“停课”可以这么说:

school is closed.

He told Mini V the school was closed during the winter vacation/break.

他告诉小V(VOA英语城),学校在寒假期间停课。

四、被强制“停课”

遇到一些特殊情况,可能会被强制“停课”。这时可以使用表达:

stop students from having class

The criminal threatens Mini V that if I don't give him one million within two hours, he will stop all students in the building from having class.

罪犯威胁小V(VOA英语城)说,如果我不在两小时内给他一百万,他就不让教学楼里的所有学生上课。

五、取消课程

由于某些原因,比如招生人数太少,相应老师辞职时一时又招不到合适的老师,不得不取消课程。那么,“取消课程”可以这么说:

cancel the class

或被动语态:the class is canceled,(英式拼写要双写l,即cancelled)

Mini V know for sure the class was cancelled.

小V我(VOA英语城)很肯定那节课被取消了。

六、恢复上课

这里得用到一个词,resume [rɪˈzjuːm]。

resume指(停顿后)继续进行(某同一件事):

resume class

Mini V heard on the grapevine that when the typhoon was gone, all schools swiftly resumed classes.

小V我(VOA英语城)听小道消息说,台风过后,所有学校都迅速恢复上课了。
