下面一段是2017年高考英语天津卷阅读理解D的一个段落:
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
不理解 let stand 的意思和用法。
尤其是 stand 是什么词性?什么意思?
let stand five minutes 是省略说法。let stand + 时间段,已成为习语。意为“静置(平静放置)多长时间”。
实际是,这是 let 后面的宾语被省略。stand 是动词,原本作宾补。没有了宾语,也就不再是宾补了,作为固定词组记忆即可。补全为:
let the three cups of water stand for five minutes
让这三杯水静置五分钟。
又如:
Heat the mixture until hot about 2 minutes. Remove mixture from heat; cover, and let stand 30 minutes.
将混合物加热大约2分钟,移离火源,封盖并存放30分钟。
Sprinkle yeast over and let stand for 10 minutes.
洒入干酵母,静置10分钟左右。
