若是遇到什么復(fù)雜情況,長輩們常常囑咐我們要“見機行事”,“抓住了機會”就好辦事,要是錯過了機會,就只有慨嘆“痛失良機”了。
抓住機會:jump at the chance
Jump at the chance 的意思就是“(迅速地)抓住機會”,跳起來抓,是夠迅速的。
比如:When the lead singer became ill, Sheila jumped at the chance toreplace her.
這個片語還有個很形象的變體,就是jump at the bait,看見有好處就跳上去了。
比如:They offered a large reward, hoping that someone would jump at thebait.
另外,jump at 也可以表示“抓住……”,通常是有好處的事情。
例如:When Dad said he'd help pay for my vacation, I jumped at the offer.
