前兩天看到這句話:So will this mess up anything with me getting my order?

印象中mess好像是髒亂的意思。那mess up呢?

(一)mess up的第一個意思

make something untidy or dirty.

使某物不整潔或髒。

例句:

You've messed up my beautiful carpet.你把我漂亮的地毯弄髒了。Who's messed up the bookshelf?誰把書架弄亂了?Who messed up the kitchen?誰把廚房弄亂了?

小結:

If you mess up a place or a thing, you make it untidy or dirty.

如果你mess up一個地方或一件東西,意思是你把它弄得不整潔。

(二)mess up的第二個意思

to make a mistake or do something wrong

犯錯誤或做錯事

例句:

If I messed up, I would probably be fired.如果我搞砸了,我可能會被解僱。I messed up on my first attempt.我第一次嘗試就搞砸了。We had a chance to win the game and we messed it up.我們本來有機會贏得這場比賽,但我們把它搞砸了。I messed up – I'm sorry.我搞砸了-對不起。It took me ages to get this right – I don’t want some idiot to mess it up.我花了很長時間才把它弄好,我不想讓某個白痴把它搞砸。She's afraid she'll mess up on the test.她怕考試會搞砸。

小結:

If you mess something up or if you mess up, you cause something to fail or be spoiled.

如果你mess up某事,意思是你把某事搞砸了。

If something messes someone up, it causes them to be very confused or worried, or to have psychological problems.

如果某事mess up某人,意思是它讓他們很困惑、很擔心,或者有心理問題。

*mess up 後面常+on

回到最開始的這個問題:

So will this mess up anything with me getting my order?

這句話可以翻譯成:那這樣會不會影響我的訂單呢?

說話者在擔心,前面所提到的事,是否會影響(搞砸)他的訂單。

關於mess up有些地方是這樣總結的:

mess作動詞的基本意思是“弄髒”,在不同情況下可以引申出不同意思:mess up的如果是事情,就表示“把事情弄砸了,失敗了”;如果是房間,就表示“無序、混亂,把整潔的房間弄得一塌糊塗”;如果用來形容人,就表示“使某人心神不寧,煩躁不安”。
