请问英语高手
Electric service was cut to more than a thousand homes .这里的to怎么解释 另外这里的cut可以换成 interrupted吗
2pick up the phone 和 answer the phone 的区别 请举例

Answer 1

这里的be cut to 就是削减至.to是个介词.His salary has been cut to 2000 yuan.他的工资减到2000元了.pick up the phone是拿起电话（有时候就是接电话,有时候是打电话）,answer the phone是接电话.感受一下下面的句子.Pick up the phone and call him right now!(拿起电话立马打给他,这里显然就不能用answer the phone了).The phone is ringing!I'm tied up righ now.Can you please pick it up/answer it?（电话响了!我现在忙着,你能不能接一下呢?）
