口語(yǔ)：“最后關(guān)頭”的“緊張和興奮” 今天李華和Larry在看足球賽，美國隊對阿爾及利亞隊。我們要學(xué)兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：on the edge of your seat和down to the wire。
LH: Larry，今天這場(chǎng)比賽很重要！美國要是贏(yíng)了，就進(jìn)16強，要是輸了就得回家了。 L: I know! Who do you think will win? The US or Algeria? LH: 這可說(shuō)不好。 L: I agree, it's hard to predict who will win. All I know is that I'm going to be on the edge of my seat the whole game. LH: 什么？你要坐在椅子邊兒上看比賽？這樣坐著(zhù)你一會(huì )兒就得累。 L: Actually, when you are really excited or nervous about something, you can say that you are on the edge of your seat. LH: 哦，on the edge of your seat不是真的坐在椅子邊兒上，而是形容緊張的樣子。你是說(shuō)，這場(chǎng)比賽讓你感到特別緊張、興奮，簡(jiǎn)直坐也不是站也不是。 L: Right! Or for another example, my friend Eddie loved the new Jack Nicholson suspense movie. He said it kept him on the edge of his seat for two hours. LH: 對！懸疑電影總是讓人的心提在嗓子眼，緊張得不行！哎，Larry, 你不是說(shuō)你在網(wǎng)上買(mǎi)了一件美國隊的球衣么？寄來(lái)了沒(méi)有？ L: I've been waiting on the edge of my seat all week for it to come, but it hasn't arrived yet. I hope it didn't get lost in the mail. LH: 別急，沒(méi)準今天球衣就到了。你看別的世界杯比賽了嗎？ L: Yeah a few, but for me, none can keep me on the edge of my seat like a US match does. LH: 這倒是！不過(guò)，足球比賽太緊張了！要不我們還是看“美國偶像”吧，輕松一下。 L: No way! I'm always sitting on the edge of my seat whenever they announce the winner of American Idol. LH: 你怎么看什么都這么激動(dòng)！對了，我還真沒(méi)看出來(lái)，你也是美國偶像的粉絲??！ L: Well you never know when you might learn something surprising about me, Lihua. LH: 哈哈，那以后和你說(shuō)話(huà)時(shí)我該緊張了，I'll be on the edge of my seat when I talk to you! 美國對阿爾及利亞的比賽結束了，Larry和李華在談?wù)撨@場(chǎng)比賽。 LH: 真夠懸的！雙方一直是0比0，我還以為美國隊要被淘汰了呢！誰(shuí)知美國隊居然在最后三分種里進(jìn)了個(gè)球，這下就挺進(jìn)16強啦！ L: I know! That was so amazing! If I watch a few more games like that, I'm going to have a heart attack! LH: 心臟??？不至于吧！不過(guò)，這場(chǎng)比賽最后幾分鐘確實(shí)挺刺激的。 L: You're right. That game really came down to the wire. LH: Down to the wire? 這是什么意思？ L: When something comes down to the wire, that means there isn't much time left. LH: 哦，down to the wire就是指到了最后關(guān)頭。你是說(shuō)這場(chǎng)比賽在快結束的時(shí)候居然難分勝負。 L: Right. Here's another example. My big report for work is due tomorrow and I still have a lot of work to do, so it's really coming down to the wire today. LH: 你是說(shuō)，明天有報告要交，可你還沒(méi)怎么寫(xiě)呢，所以今天是你完成報告的最后關(guān)頭了！哎？既然要寫(xiě)報告，干嘛還看世界杯？ L: I'll just say that I know what's important in life. Say, how is your summer job search going? LH: 還在找呢。我已經(jīng)快沒(méi)錢(qián)了，如果再找不到工作，我連房租也交不出來(lái)了。 L: Gosh, it sounds like it's really coming down to the wire. Have you had any success? LH: 倒是有一份工作，我已經(jīng)進(jìn)入最后一輪面試了，公司說(shuō)今天下午打電話(huà)通知我結果。 L: Wow, it sounds like it's coming down to the wire. You must really be on the edge of your seat. LH: 是啊，已經(jīng)快5點(diǎn)了，還沒(méi)來(lái)電話(huà)，我都要急死了！
