APRENDE UN POCO MÁS.
To look after is a phrasal verb.
It means cuidarse o cuidar a alguien.
- Los phrasal verbs, o multi-word verbs (verbos de dos o más palabras)
están formados por un verbo y pequeñas palabras (preposiciones o
partículas adverbiales).
- A veces el significado del verbo cambia a un significado completamente
diferente como en el siguiente ejemplo:
look (mirar) + after
(después) = cuidarse
- Los phrasal verbs se usan mucho, especialmente en el inglés informal.
- Algunos phrasal verbs tienen más de un significado.
Ej. "Take off"
1. The plane took off at 9 o’clock. / El avión despegó a las nueve.
2. I took off my clothes and went swimming. / Me quité la ropa y fui
a nadar
En algunos phrasal verbs podemos insertar el objeto o complemento entre
el verbo y la partícula, o ponerlo después. Pero cuando el objeto es un
pronombre, el objeto va entre el verbo y la partícula.
Ej. I took my clothes off. (I took them off)
X I took off them X
... o bien
I took off my clothes.
- El uso de los phrasal verbs es más frecuente en el lenguaje común.
- En el lenguaje escrito, suelen emplearse verbos equivalentes cuando es
posible.
- Normalmente un phrasal verb se corresponde a un solo verbo en español.

LISTENING
AA: I'm Avi
Arditti with Rosanne Skirble, and this week on Wordmaster -- English
teacher Lida Baker joins us from Los Angeles to talk about phrasal verbs.
RS: They're all around us, especially in spoken English. The first word
is a verb. The second word, sometimes even a third, is usually a
preposition.
AA: Phrasal verbs, also known as two-word verbs, have a reputation for
being tough for English learners. So what does Lida Baker think?
LB: "I think that is a myth."
RS: "Really."
LB: "Phrasal verbs are not hard to learn, as long as you learn them in a
context. I think what has given phrasal verbs a reputation for being
difficult is the way they are traditionally taught, which is that
students are given long lists of verbs -- you know, for instance every
phrasal verb connected with the word 'go.' So 'go on,' 'go up,' 'go
out,' 'go in,' 'go away,' 'go through,' OK? That's a very tedious way of
learning anything."
RS: "Well, give us some of your strategies."
LB: "All right. Well, one thing we should keep in mind about phrasal
verbs is that they are used a lot more in conversational English than
they are in formal English. So you are going to find a lot of phrasal
verbs in conversational settings such as ... "
RS: "Come on (laughter)."
LB: " ... television programs, radio interviews, and pop music is a
wonderful, wonderful source for phrasal verbs. I think the best way to
learn, or one of the best ways of learning phrasal verbs is to learn
them in everyday contexts. One good one is people's daily routine. We 'get
up' in the morning, we 'wake up,' we 'put on' our clothes in the morning,
we 'take off' our clothes at the end of the day, we 'turn on' the coffee
maker or the television set, and of course we 'turn it off' also. After
we eat we 'clean up.' If we're concerned about our health and our weight,
we go to the gym and we ... "
RS: "Work out."
LB: "There you go. You see, so as far as our daily routine is concerned,
there are lots and lots of phrasal verbs. Another wonderful context for
phrasal verbs is traveling. What does an airplane do?"
AA: "It 'takes off.'"
LB: "It 'takes off,' that's right. And lots of phrasal verbs connected
with hotels. So when we get to the hotel we 'check in,' and you can save
a lot of money if you ... "
RS: "Stay -- "
LB: "'Stay over,' right."
AA: "And you just have to make sure you don't get 'ripped off.'"
LB: "That's right! I'm glad that you mentioned 'ripped off,' because a
lot of phrasal verbs are slang, such as ripped off. And most of them do
have sort of a formal English equivalent. So to get ripped off means to
be treated unfairly ... "
AA: "To be cheated."
LB: "To be cheated, yeah. And there are lot of other two-word or phrasal
verbs that you might find, for instance, in rap music. For example, to 'get
down' means to, uh -- what does it mean?"
RS: "It means to party, doesn't it?"
LB: "To go to parties."
AA: "Have a good time."
LB: "Right. Another wonderful context is dating and romance. For example,
when a relationship ends two people 'break up.' But when they decide
that they've made a mistake and they really are in love and want to be
together, they 'call each other up' ... "
RS: "And they 'make up.'"
LB: "And they make up. Now, if your boyfriend 'breaks up' with you and
it's really, really over, then it might take you a few months to 'get
over it.' But, you know, sooner or later you're going to find someone
else ... "
AA: "To 'hook up' with -- "
LB: "To hook up with."
AA: " -- to use a current idiom."
LB: "Right. Or you might meet someone nice at work to 'go out with.'"
RS: "So what would you recommend for a teacher to do, to build these
contexts, so that the students can learn from them?"
LB: "I think the best thing for a teacher to do, or for a person
learning alone, is to learn the idioms in context. And there are
vocabulary books and idiom books that will cluster the phrasal verbs for
the student. There are also so many wonderful Web sites. I mean, if you
go to a search engine and you just type in 'ESL + phrasal verbs,' you're
going to run across -- and there's another one, 'run across' -- you're
going to find lots of Web sites that present phrasal verbs in these
contexts that I've been talking about. And also grammar sites which
explain the grammar of phrasal verbs, which I haven't gotten into
because we just don't have the time to discuss it here. But in doing my
research for this segment I found lots of Web sites that do a really
great job of explaining the grammar of phrasal verbs."
AA: Lida Baker writes textbooks for English learners and teaches in the
American Language Center at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Transcription
The day started badly when the taxi picked me up 20 minutes late
to drive me to the airport. When he finally got through the rush hour
traffic, he dropped me off at departures 30 minutes
before the plane was due to take off. I felt sure I was going to
miss it.
I had booked my flight on the Internet and printed out an
e-ticket. At the airport the check in queue was incredibly
long. I didn’t have any suitcases to check in, only hand luggage,
so I printed out my boarding pass from a machine near the check
in desk. Great! I had my seat number and 10 minutes to get some
caffeine at the departure gate before boarding the plane.
I was the last one to get on the plane. I found my seat, next to the
aisle, and pushed my laptop case in the overhead locker. Damn!
In the seat next to me was a young kid who was crying, throwing crisps
and kicking the seat in front of him. Why don’t parents control their
children in public? This was going to be a long flight.
I fastened my seat belt and reached for my ipod. Guns and Roses
at full volume might help me forget the little monster in the next seat.
We took off quickly and the cabin crew came round with
warm orange juice and stale sandwiches.
Apart from some turbulence over France, the flight was okay, and
we landed on time. I rushed through passport control and
customs. Luckily, a very attractive company representative was in
the arrival hall to meet me, and she took me to my hotel for a
short siesta before the meeting.
Did you answer the questions? Lets check.
1. Did the man miss his flight? No, he didn’t.
2. Who was the man sitting next to during the flight? A young child
3. Did anyone meet him when he arrived at his destination? Yes, an
attractive company representative.
