核心句型:
You'll cross the bridge when you come to it.
船到桥头自然直。
cross the bridge when once comes to it 字面意思是:“当你来到桥边的时候你就可以跨过桥了”,这句谚语对应汉语中的谚语:“船到桥头自然直”,劝慰人们不杞人忧天,事情终会有转机的。因此,当美国人说"You'll cross the bridge when you come to it."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"You can deal with the problem when it appears."、"The problem will get solved at last."。
情景对白:
Jane: The meeting will begin in half an hour. But my partner hasn't come yet. He's got all our files.
简:半小时后就要开会了,可是我的搭档还没来,我们的资料可都在他手上呀。
Shirley: Don't worry. You'll cross the bridge when you come to it.
雪莉:别担心了,船到桥头自然直。
