【情景再现】


最近Catherine的一位同事很器重他的一位下属,据说那位下属以前工作不很积极,领导还曾打算辞了他。可今天那位同事还提拔了那位下属。Catherine和同事谈起这件事时,同事说:He scored a bull's eye with his last assignment.


He scored a bull's eye with his last assignment.上次任务他完成的太棒了。


bull's eye字面意思是“公牛的眼睛”,引申义为”靶心“;score是动词,意为”进球,得分“,例如:Hughes scored two goals before half-time. 休斯在上半场进了两个球。所以这里score a bull's eye意思就是”正中靶心,恰到好处“,指事情做得跟到位。


【英语情景剧】




Todd: Your colleague Mike was promoted yesterday, why?

托德:你的同事麦克昨天升了职,为什么呢?


Shirley: Yeah, he scored a bull's eye with his last assignment.

雪莉:是啊,上次任务他完成的太棒了。
