英语口语练习小对话 第525期:令大吃一惊,吓一大跳
A: I will state many special opinions. I will throw the professor some curves.
我将陈述许多新观点。我会让教授大吃一惊。
B: That is very exciting! How would you do?
真是令人兴奋！你怎么做呢？
1. 解释
Throw sb some curves这个短语来自棒球场上，打球者以为投手会投出直球，但是眼前飞来的却是curve，意思是“让某人大吃一惊，让某人吓一跳”。其英文解释为：to confuse someone by doing something tricky or unexpected.
2. 例句
e.g. When you said "house" you threw me a curve. The password was supposed to be "home."
当你说到house这个词的时候，吓了我一大跳，密码应该是home。
e.g. John threw me a curve when we were making our presentation, and I forgot my speech.
