  迷你对话:

A: He has come to life in the end.

他终于清醒过来了。

B: Oh, thank God. We all felt frightened by the bad new about him.

哦,谢天谢地。一听到有关的坏消息,我们都吓坏了。

A: Yes. Fortunately, an ambulance passed in the nick of time, and we got him away to hospital.

B: Right. Unless, who know what will happen.

A: Wish him to be healthy soon.

地道表达:

in the nick of time

解词释义:

在18世纪以前人们是通过木签(tally)上的刻痕来记账和计时的。这种刻痕叫做notch,也称作nick。此语原作in the nick,而of time是后面加上去的,先表示“在关键时刻”。此语中可以加very一词用于强调。

支持范例:

The army arrived in the nick of time and the town was saved.

军队适时到达,这座小镇得救了。

He got to the station in the nick of time and caught the train.

他及时赶到车站,乘上了火车。

I saw the baby was about to fall off and caught it just in the nick of time.

我看见那个婴儿要跌落了,我恰好把他接住了。

The doctor arrived in the nick of time to save the child.

医生正好在紧要关头赶来救这个孩子。
