(用声音或手势)把(动物/人)赶走、驱走;常带有“快走开!”的语气。也可引申为“把麻烦/想法/情绪驱散”。
/ʃuː əˈweɪ/
Shoo away the flies, please.
请把苍蝇赶走。
The gardener shooed away the birds that kept pecking at the young seedlings, but they returned as soon as he turned his back.
园丁把不停啄食幼苗的鸟儿赶走了,但他一转身它们又飞回来了。
“shoo”是英语里的拟声/驱赶感叹词,模仿人驱赶动物时发出的声音(类似“嘘——走开!”),后来也作为动词使用;“away”表示“离开”,合在一起就是“把……赶走”。
