Hello. MJJ，I am back.
Powell hurt his back when he fell off the horse and was () for a year.

laid up

laid out

laid on

laid down

正确选项是laid up，"was laid up"应该是被动语态，不知道怎么理解，其他几个选项也是，MJJ指点一下
问了gpt，回答的感觉不准确，一会说谓语动词，一会说是表语，我都蒙圈了

Let's think about this step by step:

1) First, let's understand the context:
   - Powell got injured (hurt his back)
   - The injury was from falling off a horse
   - He was in some state for a year due to this injury

2) Let's look at what the different "laid" phrases mean:
   - "laid up" = confined to bed/home due to illness or injury
   - "laid out" = arranged for display; or dead/prepared for burial
   - "laid on" = provided or arranged (like food or entertainment)
   - "laid down" = put something down; or established rules

3) Given that Powell was injured and presumably needed time to recover:
   - "laid up" makes the most sense as it specifically refers to being confined due to injury or illness
   - The other options don't fit the context of injury recovery

Therefore, the correct answer is "laid up."

The sentence should read: "Powell hurt his back when he fell off the horse and was laid up for a year."

This means Powell was confined to bed or home for a year while recovering from his back injury.

很好的问题! 让我来详细解释:

"lay up" 可以有两种形式:

1. 主动形式:
- lay sb/oneself up
- 例句: The injury laid him up for weeks. (这伤让他卧床好几周)

2. 被动形式:
- be laid up (with sth)
- 例句: He was laid up with flu. (他因感冒卧床休息)

在题目中 "Powell was laid up for a year" 是被动形式。

我们也可以把同样的意思用主动形式表达:
- The back injury laid Powell up for a year.
- The fall from the horse laid him up for a year.

这个词组表示"因病/因伤卧床休养"。lay up 是个及物动词短语,所以既可以用主动形式也可以用被动形式,意思是一样的。

记忆要点:
- lay sb up = 使某人卧床休息
- be laid up = 卧床休息(被动)
- 常见搭配: be laid up with a cold/flu/injury 等

"laid up" 特指因疾病或受伤而卧床休息或无法活动。 Powell 从马上摔下来伤了背，因此 "laid up" 完美地描述了他的状态，表示他因为受伤而无法活动。 这个短语强调了被迫卧床休息的状态。

让我们分析其他选项：

laid out: 这个短语有几个含义：1. 安排，布置 (e.g., The garden was laid out beautifully.)；2. 花（钱）(e.g., He laid out a lot of money on the new car.)；3. 打昏，击倒 (e.g., The boxer laid out his opponent.)。这些含义都与题目描述的受伤卧床的情况无关。

laid on: 这个短语的含义是提供，供应 (e.g., They laid on a buffet for the guests.)。它也指责备，批评(e.g., He really laid it on thick when describing his achievements.)，或者用力涂抹(e.g., She laid the paint on with a trowel.)。这些含义与题目描述的情况不相符。

laid down: 这个短语的含义有：1. 放下 (e.g., He laid down his tools and went home.)；2. 规定，制定 (e.g., The rules were laid down by the committee.)；3. 储存 (葡萄酒) (e.g., He laid down a case of vintage port.)。这些含义都与题目描述的受伤卧床的情况无关。

总结：只有 "laid up" 准确地表达了由于受伤而卧床休息的状态。其他选项的含义与题目描述的情景不符。 在学习英语短语动词时，必须理解每个短语的具体含义和用法，避免望文生义。 积累词汇和语感最好的方法是大量阅读和接触真实的语言环境。
