safe and sound：安然無(wú)恙

一、短語(yǔ)記憶

這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的關(guān)鍵就是sound這個(gè)單詞，我們以前學(xué)過(guò)它的名詞含義“聲音”，動(dòng)詞含義“聽(tīng)起來(lái)”。其實(shí)這個(gè)單詞還有一個(gè)形容詞含義：

柯林斯：If a structure, part of someone's body, or someone's mind is sound, it is in good condition or healthy. 健康的; 狀況良好的

When we bought the house, it was structurally sound.

當(dāng)我們買下這房子時(shí)，其結(jié)構(gòu)完好無(wú)損。

知道了sound的形容詞含義，那么safe and sound這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的含義就很簡(jiǎn)單了。

二、例句
