The word come and the word down are two of the most recognizable words in the English language.
come和down是英語(yǔ)中最容易辨認(rèn)的兩個(gè)詞。

As a stand-alone word, even with no other words, we know what is meant.? For example, if we are out with our kids and we want them to follow us, we simply have to say “come!” and they know what we mean. If our kids are climbing on a tree or something they are not supposed to all we have to say is “down!” The word come originates from the old English word “cuman” (13th Century) which means to arrive or assemble. Eventually, some changes were adopted by the word and it eventually became know as we know it today as come. The word down is also an old English word that originated from “ofdune” which means downward and eventually adapted to its present form “down” and has been used as a preposition since about the 15 centuries.
作為一個(gè)獨(dú)立的詞，即使沒(méi)有別的詞，我們也知道它的意思。例如，如果我們和孩子們出去，我們希望他們跟著我們，我們只需要說(shuō)“來(lái)！“他們知道我們的意思。如果我們的孩子在樹(shù)上攀爬什么的，他們不應(yīng)該說(shuō)的就是“趴下！“come”一詞來(lái)源于古英語(yǔ)單詞“cuman”（13世紀(jì)），意思是到達(dá)或集合。最終，這個(gè)詞被采納了一些變化，它最終成為我們今天所知道的。down也是一個(gè)古老的英語(yǔ)單詞，起源于“ofdune”，意思是向下，并最終適應(yīng)其現(xiàn)在的形式“down”，大約從15世紀(jì)起就被用作介詞。

These two words were a match made in heaven and have produced several phrasal verbs “offspring”.
這兩個(gè)詞是天作之合，產(chǎn)生了幾個(gè)短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞“后代”。
