Deer in the Headlights

It was so incredible that I couldn't say anything!
简直太不可思议了,我话都说不出来了!
I was like a deer caught in headlights!

Well, that's understandable.

But maybe next time you won't have that "deer in the headlights" look!
但是下回你可能就不会手足无措了!

If a deer is on the road at night and a car is coming,it stands still, doing nothing, until its eyes can adjust to the bright lights.
如果某个夜晚,鹿在路上走着的时候正逢一辆车行驶过来,它会站在原地不动,直到它的眼睛适应了车前灯强烈的光。
This, unfortunately, puts the deer in danger.
这种情况会很不幸地将鹿至于危险当中。
If someone says you look like a "deer in the headlights" it means you look frozen with surprise,shock, or maybe even fear.
如果某个人用这个短语来形容你,这意味着你可能因为惊讶、震惊或是恐惧而呆住了。
And that's English in a Minute!
