  •   152 This building is in repair. This building is under repair.
     
      在英语句子里,使用不同的介词往往会使该句产生截然不同的意义,题例两句就是如此。
      “This building is in repair.”的意思是“这幢大楼已修理好了”,in repair等于in good repair之意。“This building is under repair.”的意思是“这幢大楼正在修理中”,它相当于“This building is undergoing repair.”。其意为该楼在修理,但还没有修理好。
      In good repair相当于in repair,其对义语为 in bad repair in(a state of)disrepair/fallen into disrepair。out of repair是“已损坏”;past repair/beyond repair是“坏得不能修理”;need putting into repair和stand in need of repair 都是“需要修理”。repair是名词或动词。
      Repairs done while you wait.(名词)
      = Repair while you wait.(动词)
      马上修理,稍等可取。
      The shop is closed during repairs.(名词)
      内部装修,暂停营业。
      Repair的形容词是repairable(可以修理的),其反义词是irrepairable或unrepairable。与其形似的是reparable (反义词为irreparable),但这个词用于抽象事物,意为“可补救的”、“可补偿的”。例:
      The death of Mother Teresa is an irreparable loss to the destitute.
      德兰修女逝世是赤贫人们无可弥补的损失。
