Hello，大家好，是不是已经很向往“五一”的假期了呢？不过英语学习还是要坚持下去，每天抽出一点点时间，慢慢地就会发现自己有很大的进步哦～
今天我们一起来学习下dry的搭配和用法。dry很简单，当动词时是弄干，变干的意思。所以和它相关的短语意思也相对比较简单和单一，都和“弄干”有关系。
1. dry down: 完全弄干
2. dry out: 使干透，变干透
eg: Don’t allow the soil to dry out.
      不要让土壤干透。
3. dry up: （使）干透，（使）枯竭：忘词
eg: to dry up the dishes
      擦干碗碟
这次的短语都比较简单，意思也比较单一。下面还给大家介绍几个和dry有关的短语，下面这些短语中dry是作为形容词“干的”来出现的。这次大家可以根据我们以前的经验自己揣测记忆一下这些短语的意思。（按住Ctrl全选可以看到释义）
(as) dry as a bone：完全干燥；渴极了
(as) dry as a chip：枯燥无味的
(as) dry as a mummy：干极了，十分干燥
最后，预祝大家五一节快乐！春天本来就是一个dry season，所以大家最好要多喝水，保证身体的水分，度过一个健康快乐的假期～
