(单词翻译:单击)

【句子】Ah, yes, the lovely home buyer right here on the edge of her seat. 【ModernFamilyS3E12】

【发音技巧】right here不完全爆破;the edge of重读the+连读;

【翻译】哦,这边有一位漂亮的打算买房的客户正迫不及待要提问呢!

今天我们来学习一下这个短语,叫做on the edge of one’s seat,这个短语的字面意思是:

在某个人的座位的边缘;

excited, nervous, or filled with suspense while one waits to find out what happens next

表达一种“很兴奋、紧张、激动的心情,很希望知道接下来会发生什么事情”;


当人处于这样的状况的时候,通常没办法靠后坐,完全放松,所以这个英文表达非常形象贴切。

eg: It's not going to win any awards, but the film certainly kept us on the edge of our seats from start to finish.

这电影不会赢得什么奖项,但是它确确实实让我们从头到尾都兴奋不已。
