昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享block,先來看看她出現在我們新概念的哪一課呢?
課文原句重現:
Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion,he landed in
a deserted car park.(NCE2 L29)
新概念課文中的block在這里是英英用法表示一座大樓的意思,如果哪一天你看到a new kid in the block是大樓里來了新的小朋友嗎,當然不是,a new kid in the block可以表示新成員或者新手。那block既然可以表示一座大樓,我們多來兩座應該也沒什么問題吧!
因而,block還可以表示成片的大樓組成的街區。
接下來,讓我們來看看幾個block的習慣用語
If someone lays their head on the block, or puts their head on the block, they are
risking their reputation or position by taking a particular course of action.
The Chancellor, by his unusual statement, has put his head on the block. 這位總理冒著丟烏紗帽的風險發表了一份非同尋常的聲明。
因而短語lay /put one’s head on the block 短語可以表示:冒著敗壞名聲的風險;拿名譽(或地位)做賭注,鋌而走險的意思
還有詞組out of the blocks
The company has in the past been slow out of the blocks to adapt to consumer tastes. 公司從一開始就適應了顧客的口味
因而out of the blocks可以表示開始,比賽或競賽從起點開始。
