  Toe 1 the line 2,踮着脚尖在一条线上走?别误会,它可不是走钢丝呦。它的意思是“听从命令、服从纪律、按惯例行事”。


  Toe the line最早出现在18世纪。关于line在这个词组中的意思有两种说法。一种是“起跑线”的意思,运动员们用脚尖踮着起跑线,等待着发令枪声,这样toe the line就表示“按惯例行事、服从纪律”的意思了。第二种说法则认为line是指“在船的甲板上或阅兵场上画的一条直线”,新兵在集合的时候都必须在直线上列队。因此toe the line在这里就有了“服从命令”的含义。


  关于line其它的词组如下:


  on the line: 冒极大的险、处在极大的危险中的
  reach the end of the line: 已到穷途末路
