ˈtɝn/ /ˈəp
TUR-nup
tˈɜːn/ /ˈʌp
TUR-nup

释义

'Turn up' means to arrive or appear unexpectedly, to increase the level of something (like volume), or to be found after being lost. It is an informal phrasal verb.

用法与细微差别

'Turn up' is informal and common in spoken English. Use 'turn up the volume' (not 'raise the volume'). 'Turn up' as 'appear' often describes people showing up unexpectedly. Can also be used for finding lost items: 'The keys might turn up.' Not the same as 'turn out' (result) or 'turn on' (activate).
