【发音技巧】not suggesting不完全爆破；that you音的同化；her up连读；for all连读；just a连读；couple of连读；the afternoon定冠词重读；

【翻译】我并不是说建议你把她全托在这里，也许就下午几个小时而已。

【适用场合】

今天我们学习的表达是：sign someone up，英文中sign up可以理解成：to agree to do sth.

or to join a program or organization。

eg: She's decided to sign up for music school.

她决定报名音乐学校。

所以，sign someone up可以理解成“为某个人报名某个课程/活动”或者“让某个人加入”

尤其是指那种没有提前征求当事人意见的情况；

to put someone's name on a list for an activity, course, etc., especially without asking them first or when they are not sure；

eg: My mother signed me up for piano lessons on the weekend.

我妈妈给我报名了周末的钢琴课。

eg: Has anyone signed you up for the office picnic?

有人帮你报名参加公司的野餐活动了吗？

eg: Can you sign up Liz for the party?

你能帮丽兹报名参加派对吗？

eg: I signed my daughter up for swimming lessons.

我给我的女儿报名了游泳课。

在介词短语搭配上，大家可以留意一下，如果后面跟for，一般加活动/服务；

如果后面是with，一般加的是机构/团体，有签约的含义；
