B: That’s really a good phenomenon to see.

地道表达:

hand over fist

解词释义:

该短语源自航海用语,原来写作hand over hand,指水手怕绳索或帆船时,双手交互使用,稳而快。19世纪美国水手改为“hand over fist”。在航海上,hand over fist指一艘船迅速超过另一艘船后,继续前进,用以比喻“迅速大量地,稳步地”。

支持范例:

My son is very bright.He is making progress hand over fist.

我儿子很聪明,他进步很快。

He's making money hand over fist in that shop.

他正在那家店里挣大钱。
