The customer had to catch the loop with a stick while the belt was unrolled, but it was so done that the feat was impossible. 开设赌局的人拿出一根绳，把其一端穿着个小圆环，放在桌边。突然松开绳子，然后顾客得用棍子接住圆环，让它套在棍子上。这很难成功，十之八九会落空。 eg: I can assure you that I am not playing fast and loose with him.

【句子】You know, you used to go bananas when a Japanese guy flipped a shrimp onto your plate. 【Modern Family-S2E13】 【发音】[ju:] [nəʊ] [ju:] [ju:zd] [tʊ] [gəʊ] [bə'nɑ:nəz]/[bə'nænəz] [wen] [ə] [‚dʒæpə'ni:z] [gaɪ] [flɪpt] [ə] [ʃrɪmp] [ˈɒn.tu]/[ˈɑ:n.tu] [jɔ:(r)] [pleɪt] 【发音技巧】used to完全失去爆破；when a连读；flipped a完全失去爆破+连读； 【翻译】以前有个日本人把虾扔到你盘子里，你都会抓狂的。（意思现在有空中飞人给你上菜，你却都见怪不怪了。） 【适用场合】 说起来很巧，今天这个go bananas的短语，我在一周之前的新概念第一册课程中刚刚讲过！ What a coincidence! 其实banana很简单，很好理解，无非就是香蕉，但是go bananas不是去吃香蕉，也不是去买香蕉，而是：失控、抓狂、兴奋激动或者愤怒的意思； If someone goes bananas, they become very angry, upset or excited. 很多同学会觉得学这种俚语挺有意思，特别喜欢。但是却不怎么记得住。 其实最好可以联系一下这个用法的来源，这样这个短语在脑海里会立体一些，有更深刻的印象。 比如前段时间我们讲的be torn between A and B… 为什么能表示纠结于两种选择，无法做出选择呢？ tear本身就可以指撕开，撕裂这个意思 一个人都被撕开了，无非就是内心纠结，拉扯，不知道怎么选择； 再比如今天的go bananas 其实可以联系英文中一个类似表达，叫做go ape [eɪp] Ape就是猿咯，大猩猩， go ape就是变成大猩猩，所以有“发狂，突然激动”这样的意思，又因为apes都吃bananas所以，也有了go bananas这样的用法，这样就很好理解啦！ eg: The fans went ape at the concert. 演唱会上歌迷们都激动死了！ eg: I'll end up going bananas if I have to work in this cubicle for one more day! 我要是再在这个小隔间里面多工作一天，我都会疯的！ eg: The kids are going to go bananas when we tell them about the trip. 如果我们告诉孩子们要出游了，他们肯定开心死了！ eg: Sorry, I just went bananas for a minute. 抱歉，我刚刚失态了。 然后呢，视频当中，最后出现了一个这样的表达： … but that guy seriously needs to grow a pair. 但是那小子真应该有点骨气。 其实这里的翻译真的很文雅了，本来的语气，应该是： 但是那小子，可真是没种啊！ grow a pair 其实是指 grow a pair of balls 挺不文明的，就是“爷们点儿”的意思。 这个短语经常用于祈使句。 eg: You need to grow a pair and ask your boss for a raise already! 你应该爷们一点儿，立刻要求你的老板给你涨工资！ 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 如果我再迟到的话，我的老板会抓狂的。

【句子】And the only restaurant within walking distance is Shawarma City. 【Modern Family-S2E13】 【发音】[ænd] [ði:] ['əʊnli] [ˈres.trɒnt]/[ˈres.tərɑ:nt] [wɪ'ðɪn] ['wɔ:kɪŋ]/['wɑ:kɪŋ] ['dɪstəns] [ɪz] [ʃəwɑ:(r)'mə] ['sɪti] 【发音技巧】and the不完全失去爆破+重读；city美音浊化； 【翻译】步行范围内唯一的一家餐厅就是沙瓦玛城。（沙瓦玛：中东烤肉卷） 【适用场合】 今天这个表达非常实用啦！ walk大家都知道指的是步行，distance是距离 如果你说某一个地方is within walking distance就指的是在步行范围内，走路就可以到。 可以理解成some place is close enough for you to walk to；或者You can walk to some place easily. 这也是我们流利口语互动课当中讲过的一个短语； eg: The beach is within walking distance of my house (= you can walk there easily). 海滩离我家不远，走路几分钟就能到。 eg: My office is within walking distance from here. 我的办公室离这里很近。 我的办公室从这走路就能到。 eg: Does she live within walking distance of her parents? 她是住在父母家不远处吗？/她住的地方，是走路就能到爸妈家吗？ eg: The house is within walking distance of the university. 这个房子离那所大学很近。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 我想找一个合适的房子租住，需要附近有学校、超市和医院。

I need to hit the books. 我今晚不能出门。我得好好看书/学习。 eg: You’d better hit the books if you want to pass your exam on Friday. 如果你想通过周五的考试，那你得好好看书了。 那么今天出现的 hit the road 就指的是动身出发to depart; to begin one's journey, especially on a road trip; to leave for home； 也开始说hit the trail，因为trail也可以指小道的意思；所以这俩短语 是同义表达。 eg: We’d better hit the road before traffic gets even worse. 我们最好在路变得更堵之前出发。 eg: Hit the road—no one wants you here anyway! 赶紧滚蛋吧，没人想让你在这待着！ eg: We’ll have to hit the trail very early in the morning. 我们得一大早就出发。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 我也想多待一待，但是我必须得走了。

Which do you think looks better on me? 我也不知道要红色这条连衣裙，还是要蓝色那条。你觉得我穿哪个更好看啊？ eg: He was torn between his loyalty to his friend and knowing he needs to report the crime to the police. 他处在两难的境地：他既觉得需要忠于友谊；但是又知道他应该向警方举报。 eg: I am torn between my parents and my boyfriend. 我不知道应该站在谁一边，我父母亲这一遍边，还是我男朋友那一边呢？ 类似的情形，用dilemma怎么造句呢？ eg: She faces the dilemma of disobeying her father or losing the man she loves. 她面临两难的处境：要么违背自己的父亲，要么失去心爱的人。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 许多女性都觉得很为难，到底应该选择家庭还是事业呢？
