work out用法和work on的用法

短语动词
英语学习中我们常常遇到大量短语动词,它们往往难以从字面意义上来判定其释义。我们只能通过实例和语言实践才能逐渐掌握常用的短语动词。短语动词在研究生英语入学考试中占有重要地位;阅读理解、完形填空和英译汉都涉及到短语动词。对短语动词含义的理解正确与否往往直接影响到对句子,乃至对段落的理解。
work on -- 加工,处理,从事,研究。
work out -- 通过努力达到,作成,定出,算出,研究出,制出。
Let them work out their own problems。
让他们解决他们自己的问题。
work out 强调 工作出结果,解决问题

让我们继续搞我们的项目。
work on 强调继续工作
其它例子。
