基础语法：让名词动起来
Table, ice, duck, flag... 这些简单的英语单词，它们的名词意义就算对初学英语者来说也一定是小菜一碟，但老外经常把它们当做动词用，它们的动词意义和用法你知道吗？
1. table：名词，桌子；当动词用，是指开会时延期讨论提案等，也就是暂缓审议。（to postpone discussion of a bill or suggestion until future time); 例如：
They tabled the motion at the meeting.
I made the motion and he seconded it.（我提案，他同意。) (second 这里是动词，意思是赞成；to second the motion 也就是附议）
We are tabling this matter until further notice.（我们延期讨论这件事，以后再说。）
2. pride：名词，荣誉；当动词用，是指感到得意或自豪。（to take pride in something）例如：
We prided ourselves on our good work. (我们为自己工作的表现而自豪。)
I have long prided myself on being a good teacher. (我一向以身为一名称职的老师師而自豪。)
注意：to pride oneself on和 to be proud of 或 to take pride in 意思相近，只是用法和后面所跟的介词不同而已。例如：
They take great pride in her daughter who is now a famous scientist.
I am very proud of being a Chinese.
3. carpet：名词，地毯；当动词用，是覆盖的意思 。(to cover something) 例如：
The flower girls carpeted the floor with rose petals before the bride's entrance. (新娘进来前，花童将玫瑰花瓣撒满了地板。)
During the winter time my roof is carpeted with white snow. (冬天时我家的屋顶盖满了白雪。)
4. floor：名词，地板；当动词用，是踩足汽车的油门，加速开车或使人惊讶。 (to press accelerator of a car to the floor in order to speed up; or to astonish someone) 例如：
As soon as I saw his gun, I floored my car. (我一见到他有枪，立即踩足油门加速开车。)
