keeps什么意思，keeps怎么读？

一说到keep，大家可能都会想到 keep quiet(保持安静)，keep silent(保持沉默)或 keep fit(健身，健美，保持健康) 这几个表达，“keep”不就是“保持”嘛，这有什么难！

好，下面先给你几个keep的句型，看你知不知道它们的意思：

1.keep clear 2.keep books 3.keep oneself to oneself

4.keep house 5.keep early hours 6.keep a good house

7.keep late hours 8.keep open house 9.keep one's eyes on the ball

10.keep the house

每个单词你都应该看得懂吧，但连在一起的意思是什么呢？怎样使用这些短语或句型呢？这恐怕并不那么简单，这还得我们 learn by heart (用心记住)或 keep them in mind，只有不断地keep your hand in, 才能keep up with others, 不至于落后别人，而输给他人！
