作者: 蕾莎 最後更新: 06/12/2016

'I love speed!' Uncle Ben said when he was driving in his car with Alice, Robo, Robin and Rabbit.'Don't drive so fast! I feel dizzy.' Alice said in a weak voice and looked sick.'I think Alice is going to throw up.' Robo said worriedly.'Why do you want to throw Alice out of the car?' Robin said to Robo disapprovingly.'Stop, Robin! Throw up means to vomit!' Rabbit tried to explain.'Oh no, Alice...' Uncle Ben said when Alice couldn't stop herself from throwing up.

Throw up is a phrasal verb. It doesn’t mean throwing things away or throwing things out of your house. It means vomiting. If people have seasickness or carsickness, they would throw up easily when they are taking a boat trip or riding in a car.

Examples:

1. Don't eat too much! You would throw up in the end.

2. He threw up after drinking two glasses of wine.

3. She never takes the boat. She would throw up easily.
