1.on the ball ::: 精明能干。来自篮球运动:篮球比赛中,有的队员总能在球附近,一有机会就会把球从对方的控制下断掉。后来就引申成为精明,能干,又有学识的意思。 ::: 1.competent , knowledgeable, alert 2.of ability or competence --- If the teacher has something on the ball, the pupils won't squirm much.
2.now the ball is in your court 球在你的场地那一边,也就是说我已经作了我该做的,剩下就看你的了。政治上这一词的利用率很高。比如,裁军,领土问题的谈判,一方做出了让步,或有了积极的态度或行动,他们就会对对方说:now the ball is in your court.就看你的了。
3.not all there 还记得我们学过的 have a screw loose 吗,不记得也没关系,现在我们来复习一下。not all there 和 have ascrew loose 意思差不多,都是说一个人状态不大对劲。not all there 大概是说soul和body not all there。不太清醒,不太理智。
4.cutting edge ::: (技术的)前沿 --- The new sound card will be on the cutting edge of playing music.
5.make hay ::: 抓住赚钱的机会就捞一把(我猜测原来是说趁天气还不太冷的时候给牲口存足草料) ::: to make use of offered opportunity in gaining an early advantage --- After successfully cracked a commercial software, he knew it's time to make hay then. |
