Autumn – the season when temperatures drop and leaves change color – is also known as fall. Fall in the United States is a lively time. Seasonal vegetables such as pumpkins and squash appear on farms, in stores, and in popular dishes. Leaves on most trees turn from green to fiery red, bright orange and golden yellow.
秋天——气温下降、树叶变色的季节——也被称为秋天。美国的秋天是一个热闹的季节。南瓜等时令蔬菜出现在农场、商店和受欢迎的菜肴中。大多数树上的叶子会从绿色变成火红色、亮橙色和金黄色。
In keeping with the lively, colorful spirit of fall, we will explore a lively, colorful area of connection between fall and grammar: phrasal verbs .
为了与秋天活泼、多彩的精神保持一致，我们将探索秋天和语法之间的一个活泼、多彩的联系领域：短语动词。

The verb form often appears in phrasal verbs that have lively meanings. Such phrasal verbs add color to the landscape of English vocabulary.
动词形式经常出现在具有生动含义的短语动词中。这些短语动词为英语词汇的景观增添了色彩。
Phrasal verbs are groups of words that mean something different from what the individual words suggest. Phrasal verbs generally have a verb and one or two short words such as in, up, behind , and so on.
短语动词是一组单词，其含义与单个单词的含义不同。短语动词一般由一个动词和一两个短词组成，如 in、up、behind 等。
When we talk about phrasal verbs with fall, we mean that fall is acting as the main verb. One or more short words come after the verb f all to give it a special meaning.
当我们谈论带有“fall”的短语动词时，我们的意思是“fall”充当主要动词。动词 f all 之后出现一个或多个短词，赋予其特殊含义。
Let’s start with a common example: fall into .
让我们从一个常见的例子开始：陷入。
Fall into has two common meanings. It can mean to be caught in a trap (either literally or figuratively ). It can also mean to begin to do something or be affected by something without wanting or trying to.
陷入有两个常见含义。它可能意味着陷入陷阱（无论是字面意思还是比喻意义上的）。它也可以意味着在不想要或不尝试的情况下开始做某事或受到某事的影响。
So, we might say the following sentences:
所以，我们可能会说下面的句子：
The animal fell into the trap.
那只动物掉进了陷阱。
Joe answered the question before realizing he had fallen into a trap.
乔回答了问题，然后意识到自己掉进了陷阱。
We might also say:
我们也可以说：
Joe fell into debt after his business failed.
乔生意失败后负债累累。
In all of these examples, the person or thing doing the action does not expect the result. A person or thing caught in a trap does not expect to end up in a trap, for example.
在所有这些例子中，执行该操作的人或事物并不期望结果。例如，陷入陷阱的人或物并不希望最终落入陷阱。
Let’s continue with another phrasal verb: fall for.
让我们继续另一个短语动词：fall for。
It has two common varieties: fall for (someone) and fall for (something). The difference in meaning comes after the phrasal verb.
它有两种常见的变体：爱上（某人）和爱上（某事）。含义的差异出现在短语动词之后。
When you fall for someone, it means you start to feel strong desire and care for them.
当你爱上某人时，这意味着你开始对他们产生强烈的渴望和关心。
So, you might say:
所以，你可能会说：
I fell for David because he made me laugh a lot.
我爱上了大卫，因为他让我开怀大笑。
I fell for her the first time I saw her.
我第一次见到她时就爱上了她。
But when you fall for something, you are fooled by something, such as a trick or joke.
但当你爱上某事时，你就会被某件事所愚弄，比如欺骗或笑话。
You might hear a person say:
你可能会听到有人说：
Joe agreed to Anna’s idea? I can’t believe he fell for that old trick!
乔同意安娜的想法？我不敢相信他竟然中了那个老把戏！
Such a statement about Joe is not kind. It is making fun of him.
这样的说法对乔来说并不友善。这是在取笑他。
Let’s take some time to work with these ideas.
让我们花一些时间来研究这些想法。
