That’s up to you to decide. 那由你自己来决定。 在英语中，be up to somebody是一个习惯用语，用来表“由 某人做出抉择”，句子的主语通常为it，有时也用this或that。 如： ► You can join the club once or twice a week — it’s up to you. 你可以一周参加一次或两次俱乐部的活动—这由你定。 ► How much should he pay? That’s up to him to decide! 他应该付多少钱？那完全由他来决定。 ► It will be up to you to decide which one you want to use. 这取决于你想用哪个。 ► I can tell you that the question will come up, but the outcome will be up to you. 我只能够告诉你这个问题将出现，而结果如何取决于你。 4. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. play a role是一种固定表达， 意为“扮演某一角色；起到某 种作用”。若要进一步引出具体的内容，后面应该用介词in， 表示“在某事或某个方面起到作用或承担某种角色”。 ► John is playing the leading role in this year’s play. 今年的演出中约翰是主角。 ► Schools play the most important role in education. 学校在教育中起着最为重要的作用。 5. However, if you don’t take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch. take在此处有consider (认为；觉得)的意思。take someone/something seriously就相当于汉语“认真对待某 人或某事；把某人或某事当真”的意思。如： ► He was joking, but your sister took him seriously. 他是在开玩笑，但你姐姐却当真了。 有时老师们把学生作业看得太重。 Sometimes teachers take students’ homework too seriously. 人家托你的事，你别不在意。 When people ask you to do something, you should take it seriously. 辨析：for example与 such as 讲解来自《点拨》 6.For example, some people who say they are poor farmers are in fact just actors. for example 作插入语，后面的举例常为句子。 并用逗号隔开，可位于句首、句中或句尾。 eg.Noise,for example,is a kind of pollution. such as 用来列举同类人或事物中的几个，其后 只能是单词或短语且不用逗号。 eg.I like drinks such as tea and soda. 此处be made up为被动语态，意为“被编造”。 eg：He often makes up stories.
