  迷你对话:

A: You had better get a grab instead of getting upset about little things.

你最好控制一下自己,而不要为一点小事就大发脾气。

B: I know. But my life seems super stressful. I really don’t know how to get a better grab on things.

我知道,但是我的生活压力很大,我真不知道我如何去掌握我的生活。

B: I think as long as you try your best and don’t think of anything too much, everything will be all right.

我觉得,只要你尽力了,不要想那么多,一切都会好起来的。

地道表达:

get a grab

解词释义:

grab原来的意思是“握紧”。如果一个人能够握紧自己的生活,则表示他能够充分支配,控制生活的各方面,因此在俚语中是“控制,掌控”的意思。如果要表示控制,掌控什么,在习语的后面加上介词on即可,即:get a grab on something。

支持范例:

If he wants to hold that job, he'd better get a grab on himself and settle down to work

如他想保住那份工作,他最好管住自己并认真工作。

If you don't get a grab on yourself you will go mad.

如果你不控制自己的情绪,你会疯的。

Juliet went white with shock and tried to get a grab on herself.

茱丽叶震惊得脸色苍白,并努力控制自己的情绪。

If you do not get a grab on yourself , you are condemning 1 yourself to an entire life buffeted 2 by the winds of emotional whim 3.

如果你无法控制自己情绪,你的一生将会因为不时的情绪冲动而受害。
