go without ³

核心问题

When smokers who are used to nicotine go without it for an hour or two, they begin to feel bad.

该书在课文注释中对 go without 的解释如下:

go without 在缺少……的情况下勉强对付过去”

我觉得这种解释与句意不符:上面句子明明说吸烟成瘾的人不吸入尼古丁就受不了,怎么又说勉强对付过去呢?

词典解答

go without 通常可解释为“吃(喝、吸、得)不到”“不吃(喝、吸、睡……)(If you go without something, you do not get it or have it.)”。上句中的 go without 使具有此种含义,其句意为:对尼古丁上了瘾的吸烟者一两个小时不吸入尼古丁,就会感到难受(参见 go without 1^{1} )。

下面是类似的例句:

  1. I had to go without breakfast this morning as I was in a hurry. 我今早很匆忙,只好不吃早饭了。

  2. She went without sleep for three days. 她三天没睡觉了。
