第二、 对话精讲

1. 地道表达

地道短语】up a tree

解词释义】up a tree源于up a gum-tree,字面意思是“在橡胶树上”,用来比喻“无论如何都不能逃脱”,意即:一筹莫展,走投无路,陷入困境,进退维谷等等意思。

支持范例1】With the failure of the experiment, we are up a tree now.

试验失败了,我们一筹莫展。

支持范例2】In fine, she had been up a tree and committed the matter to me.

最后她走投无路,把这件事委托我了。

2. 词海拾贝

gravy train:轻易发大财的工作

美国政府很多官员工作清闲却薪水很高。

例句-2】He’ll never leave his job. It’s a real gravy train.

the other day:前几天,不久前的一天
