在我们把 in和 out 的短语里里外外检查一圈后，是时候向上 up 看一下我们的头顶了。下面这个故事的主人公，还真的是在经历了一番人生起落后，终于开始有一点 go up 的趋势了。
Jenny’s band was breaking up. None of the other band members (成员) were as enthusiastic(有激情的) about music as she was. What’s worse, her inspiration was running out.
No matter how hard she worked to put up advertisements, people stopped going to their gigs (表演).
One time, she added up her band's expenses (支出), and she realized that they were losing money. Out of frustration (失落), she left her band and stopped singing for a while.
She took up the job as a waitress in a cafe. The musician who was working there at that time was a drunkard (酒鬼), and his music was as messy (凌乱的) as his personal life.
One day, when Jenny was serving tables as usual, the cafe manager asked her if she could sing. It turned out that the other musician was too drunk to play music that night. At the manager’s request (请求), Jenny stood on stage. Suddenly, her long-lost music inspiration turned up again!
时间到！！大家看懂这个小故事了吗？
失意的乐队歌手发现自己的乐队快要分崩离析。在失去灵感后，她离开乐队去咖啡厅做起了服务生。有一天，在咖啡厅工作的音乐人因为醉酒而不能演唱。于是，她的机会来了，伴随着的还有她的灵感。
up 作为介词指的是向上，比如向天上看就是look up at the sky, 看姚明的时候你就要raise up your head。
在一些短语中，up 的 向上的本义可以衍生出许多其他的意思。
- 当某物从一片黑暗上升到有光的地方，它就可以被我们看到，由此有了turn up 的出现 之意。小到丢失的手表，大到遗失已久的灵感或机遇，都可以turn up。
此外，turn up 还有把音量向上调的意思，例如 turn up the music。大家要根据语境选择适合的意思哦。
-
把东西一层层往上叠，看上去它的数量就在增加，所以add up 的意思就是 把…加起来。
-
上 也是高于地面，这个含义在put up 里有所体现。put up an advertisement 就是把广告张贴起来，put up a board 就是把木板立起来，都是在高于地面的地方。
-
向上飞得太高，就有坠落的危险，所以 up 在英语里也有破碎的含义，例如break up就表示一段关系的碎裂。
-
当我们take up a responsibility时，我们是在把责任扛在肩上，开始从事某件事。除此之外，还有take up a post (职位)，take up a task (任务)
