關於“冷靜”的英文表達，calm down的用法以及同義表達
The word come and the word down are two of the most recognizable words in the English language.
come和down是英語中最容易辨認的兩個詞。
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.
作爲一個獨立的詞，即使沒有別的詞，我們也知道它的意思。例如，如果我們和孩子們出去，我們希望他們跟着我們，我們只需要說“來！“他們知道我們的意思。如果我們的孩子在樹上攀爬什麼的，他們不應該說的就是“趴下！“come”一詞來源於古英語單詞“cuman”（13世紀），意思是到達或集合。最終，這個詞被採納了一些變化，它最終成爲我們今天所知道的。down也是一個古老的英語單詞，起源於“ofdune”，意思是向下，並最終適應其現在的形式“down”，大約從15世紀起就被用作介詞。
These two words were a match made in heaven and have produced several phrasal verbs “offspring”.
這兩個詞是天作之合，產生了幾個短語動詞“後代”。
