美国习惯用语(连载)[8]
he normal speed limit when a truck appeared in front of him out of the blue and he did not have time to stop."
he normal speed limit when a truck appeared in front of him out of the blue and he did not have time to stop."
这句话的意思是:“一个开车的人可能会在作证时说,正当他以正常的速度行驶的时候,一辆卡车突然出现在他面前,他来不及刹车。”
我们再听听下面这个学生讲的话:
例句-4: "The announcement that the president of our university was quitting to go to another school hit us like a bolt out of the blue. He's always said he liked it here so much he would stay until he retired."
他说:“我们大学校长宣布他决定辞职到另外一个学校去工作。我们都感到很突然,因为他老是说他很喜欢这个学校,要一直在这儿工作到退休。”
今天我们讲了两个俗语。一个是 singing the blues;另一个是 like a bolt out of the blue。
