交谈中听到Neck and neck可不是脖子和脖子的意思啦
from 早餐英语|实用英文口语
很多小伙伴看到这个表达可能会一头雾水,"neck" 是脖子,"and" 是和,字面直译好像是 "脖子和脖子"。但它的实际含义却和竞争有关!今天就来带你解锁这个形象的表达。"neck and neck"意思是 "并驾齐驱;不分上下"。用于描述比赛、竞争中双方势均力敌,差距极小的状态。这个短语的起源与赛马有关,在赛马比赛中,当两匹马跑成并排时,它们的脖子几乎处于同一水平线上,后来便引申为 "竞争中不相上下" 的意思。例如:The two teams have been neck and neck throughout the game.整场比赛中,两队一直并驾齐驱。The two smartphones are neck and neck in terms of performance and price.这两款智能手机在性能和价格上不相上下。原声再现:Hope and despair are neck and neck.希望与绝望并存。It doesn't even make sense. I'm neck and neck with Prady. Even if I do win,I won't take office for another six months.这根本说不通。我和普拉迪势均力敌,就算我真赢了,也要等六个月才能就职。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
