Jenny在美国通讯公司工作,长期的压力让她最近工作状态不佳。尤其是在这里工作久了,她发现身边的同事都大有长进,唯独自己都一直停滞不前。Catherine见此情景,就劝说Jenny: You'd better get on the ball.


You'd better get on the ball.你最好用心做。


on the ball这个习惯用语的意思是“在工作方面非常出色,总是名列前茅”。据说,on the ball这个俗语来自打篮球,指好的篮球运动员总能一有机会就把球抢到手,而不论球在谁的手里或在那个角落。因此,get on the ball就可以表示“使某人工作很出色”,即“用心工作”。


【英语情景剧】




Tom:I don't know why I have no passion for working!

汤姆:我不知道为什么工作毫无激情。


Daniel:If you hope to keep your job, you'd better get on the ball.

丹尼尔:如果你还想要你的那份工作,你最好用心做。
