   很多人在刚到一个陌生的环境之后,会觉得浑身不自在,需要一段时间来适应。今天我们来学几个跟这种情况相关的表达。


  第一个是trying to find my feet,意为“我正在努力适应新环境”。其它类似说法还有:
  I'm trying to orientatemyself。
  我在尽力适应。
  I'm trying to settle in。
  我在努力习惯(新工作/新居等)
  I'm learning the ropes。
  我正在学习掌握窍门。
  下面我们来看一个关于适应新环境的对话,注意里面的习语:
  Gordon:US 8, UK 42. Ferrare Cavallo. Heel…(Lying on couch &examining a pair of shoes)戈登:美国码8号、英国码42号、意大利真皮、鞋后跟……(躺在沙发上,反复观看一双皮鞋)Katherine:Hurry up! You'll be late for work. What are you doing?
  凯瑟琳:快点!你快迟到了,你在干什么?
  Gordon:I'm a little bit worried about my new job. I'm trying to find my feet。
  戈登:我只是有点担心新工作,我正尝试适应新环境。
  Katherine:That's the trouble then. You deserve the boot。
  凯瑟琳:问题就在这里,你真该被解雇。
  Gordon:Why?
  戈登:为什么?
  Katherine:You work in a shoe shop and if you don't even know where your feet are, then there's no future for you there. Now get a move on before I put my foot in your mouth。
  凯瑟琳:你在鞋店工作,但居然不知自己脚踏何地,我觉得你在鞋店也不会有什么前途。你再不动身,别怪我不客气了。
  Gordon:Alright, alright, I'm leaving。
  戈登:好的,好的,我马上出门。
