crack 既可以作名词,也可以作形容词,还可以作动词,作动词时意为“破裂;裂开;断裂”等,例如:

He has cracked a bone in his arm.

他的手臂有一处骨裂。


Her lips were dry and cracked.

她的嘴唇干裂了。


短语动词 crack up 有如下几个意思,用于非正式的场合:


一、意为“垮掉,崩溃”,通常指因压力造成身体垮掉或精神崩溃,例如:


I think she's cracking up.

我想她快崩溃了。

You'll crack up if you carry on working like this.

你再这样干下去,身体会垮掉的。


解析:短语动词 carry on 后接动名词,表示继续或接着做某事。


I tried my best to control my emotions - but finally, I cracked up.

我尽力控制自己的情绪,但最后,我崩溃了。


二、意为“开始大笑起来”,例如:


He walked in and everyone just cracked up.

他一进来,人人都捧腹大笑起来。

听到老师的笑话,整个小组都笑了。


解析:entire 较正式用词,只作定语,一般只用于修饰单数名词(包括集合名词),强调团体、时间段、数量等的整体,含不能有所削减或增添之意,用于修饰某一具体事物时常可与 whole 换用。


三、意为“使大笑起来”,例如:


He cracks me up whenever he tries to mimic me.

无论什么时候他想模仿我,都把我逗乐了。


解析:whenever 引导的让步状语从句,相当于 no matter when:


He cracks me up, no matter when he tries to mimic me.


Gill's so funny, she just cracks me up.

吉尔滑稽极了,逗得我哈哈大笑。
