(一)每日一题:请选出这道题的最佳答案 .
After giving me a run down on the corporate reorganization plan,John explained to me why he feels he is behind the eight ball.
It suggests that:
A.John has everything under control.
B.John will probably be moving up the ladder.
C.John is thinking about quitting his job.
D.John may be in a awkward situation.
...请解释"behind the eight ball"这句俚语的典故.
(二)每日一词:理解之后请将所附的例句翻译成中文.
Apposite adj;
— Being of striking appropriateness and relevance; very applicable; apt.
As we survey Jewish history as a whole from the vantage point of the late twentieth century,Judah Halevi's phrase "prisoner of hope" seems entirely apposite .
一道选择,两句翻译.
1.选D
Behind the eight ball 凶多吉少
这个习惯用语来自台球.彩色台球上有1到15的编号.有一种玩法是必须按照编号顺序把球击入球囊,但是黑色的八号球,也就是eight ball例外. Eight ball得最后被击入球囊.即使是打出的母球过早碰撞了eight ball,打球的人也得失分,甚至会输.
要是在打球的时候你的母球不巧正滚到eight ball背后,也就是behind the eight ball,那你就凶多吉少了.
大约在1920年左右,behind the eight ball被人们广泛用来描述任何得胜希望渺茫的境况.
2.当我们从20世纪末的有利点把犹太人历史作为一个整体来调查研究会发现犹大·哈列维对之“希望的囚徒”的表述看起来是相当贴切的.
ok!呵呵,望采纳:)
