欢迎来到Megan教英文《每日英语口语》,每天学一点地道英语表达,提高英语口语水平。“近在咫尺”是一个非常熟悉的成语,那如何用英语表达“近在咫尺”呢?一起来学习吧!
1.“近在迟尺”的英文表达
英语里表达“附近”“靠近”的单词和短语有很多,比如next to,close
to,around等等。“近在迟尺”的意思是“非常近,近在手边”,英语词组“near at hand”正有此意。
来看它的英文解释就会一目了然:If something is near at hand, it is near enough to you for you to reach it,中文意思即
“近在手边的;近在迟尺”。
怎么用呢?来看例句:
小孩子们喜欢睡觉时把娃娃放在手边。
Children like to have their toys near at hand when they’re sleeping.
2.hand over fist 是啥意思呢?
“hand”意思有“手”,
“fist”意思是“拳头”,那“hand over fist”又是啥意思呢?
首先看对应的英文解释:If you make or lose money hand over fist, you make or lose a lot of money very quickly,中文意思即“迅速大量地(赚钱或赔钱)”,或者可以理解为赚的快赔的也快。
例句1:他们去年订单很多,所以很快发了大财。
They had lots of deals last year, so they were earning moneyhand over fist.
例句2: 这家公司缺少一个有经验的经理,所以很快赔了好多钱。
The company is lack of an experienced manager, so they are losing money hand over fist.
