2013英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)8000句:On the Ball 機(jī)警的
    Diarmuid : And I'm Diarmuid. 我是圣保羅。
    Yang Li : 這檔節(jié)目專(zhuān)門(mén)向大家介紹現(xiàn)代法語(yǔ)當(dāng)中常用的一些詞語(yǔ)。
    Diarmuid : Eh, Yang Li, did you say words we use in modern French? 額,楊麗,你說(shuō)過(guò)我們?cè)诂F(xiàn)代發(fā)語(yǔ)中用的詞嗎?
    Yang Li : Yes, well done Diarmuid! Just testing you there, I wanted to see if you were on the ball today, Diarmuid. 是的,問(wèn)得好,圣保羅!你就在這里測(cè)試一下我,我想看看你是不是機(jī)警的。
    Diarmuid : Ah, I see. And that's today's phrase: on the ball. When you are on the ball it means you are alert and quick to react to things. 啊,我知道了。今天要學(xué)的短語(yǔ)就是on the ball。當(dāng)你on the ball的時(shí)候是說(shuō)你很機(jī)警,并且反映很快。
    Yang Li : 沒(méi)錯(cuò)。To be on the ball 意思是機(jī)警的。遺憾的是我們并不是總能處于機(jī)警的狀態(tài)。就象下面對(duì)話中的男子。
    Examples:
    A : I'm afraid your work this morning has not been good enough. You've made too many mistakes. 我恐怕你的今天早上的工作做得不是很好。你犯了太多的錯(cuò)。
    B : Sorry, I'm not really on the ball today. 抱歉,今天我不是很機(jī)警。
    Diarmuid : So to be on the ball means to be able to react quickly to things. There's also another phrase: "to keep your eye on the ball".
    Yang Li : 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)意思是在一個(gè)變化無(wú)常的環(huán)境下你必須要保持精神集中不走神兒。
    Diarmuid : For example, in business, like investment banking.
    Yang Li : 比如,金融投資。
    Examples:
    A : That new guy's great. 那個(gè)新來(lái)的家伙很不錯(cuò)。
    B : Yes, well you have to keep your eye on the ball in investment banking. 是的,你得機(jī)警地應(yīng)對(duì)投資銀行。
    Yang Li : 說(shuō)到這里我想提醒大家,如果你要保持對(duì)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的高度注意力,保持前衛(wèi),那么就要經(jīng)常登陸我們的網(wǎng)頁(yè)跟蹤新詞新語(yǔ)。
    Diarmuid : That's right. Our address is www.bbcchinauk.com. 說(shuō)的對(duì)。
