7. Unit 138 最终思维模型
这一单元的 in / out 不要只理解成普通介词。
在 phrasal verbs 中，它们经常给动词增加一种方向或结果。
in 的核心感觉
外 → 内
因此：
get in → 进去
move in → 搬进去
join in → 加入进去
plug in → 接进去 → 插上电源
out 的核心感觉
内 → 外
因此：
get out → 出去
move out → 搬出去
eat out → 出去吃
同时 out 还经常产生：
去掉 / 排除 / 退出
这种抽象含义。
例如：
leave out → 把某物排除出去 → 省略
cross out → 划掉
drop out → 从某个活动中退出
get out of → 从某件事中脱离 → 逃避
8. 一句话记忆
in = 进去 / 加入
out = 出去 / 离开 / 去除
先掌握这种方向感，再记：
move in / move out
check in / check out
join in / drop out
会比把每个短语完全孤立地背下来更容易。
