Throw me a curveball at the last minute. 【ModernFamilyS3E13】【发音】 /greɪt/ /plæn/ /'rɪəlɪ/ /gʊd/ /plæn/ /θrəʊ/ /mi:/ /ə/ /ˈkɜ:(r)vbɔ:l/ /æt/ /ðə/ /læst/ /lɑ:st/ /'mɪnɪt/【发音技巧】Good plan不完全爆破；good plan不完全爆破；at the不完全爆破；last minute不完全爆破；【翻译】好主意，真的是个好主意啊，最后一刻打得我措手不及。【适用场合】今天我们来学习这样一个短语的用法，叫做throw sb. a curveball；当然这里的curve ball也可以分开写，没问题；字面的意思是：“给某个人扔了一个曲线球”；大家都知道打棒球的时候，curveball曲线球是非常难接的。其实足球还有乒乓球也是的，带有曲线、弧度的话，难度瞬间飙升。我们先看一下这样的例句：eg: With his curveball, you know it's coming, but you still can't do anything with it.他打的曲线球，你知道球来了，但是你无能为力。eg: His dream of playing baseball for the team ended with the realization that he couldn't hit a curve ball.他曾抱有梦想希望能为这支棒球队伍效力，但在意识到自己无法投出一个曲线球时，他的梦想就破灭了。这个短语当中，curveball在口语中经常可以有引申意味：可以表达：something such as a question or event that is surprising or unexpected, and therefore difficult to deal with“让人意想不到、颇为意外的问题或者事情，这样的事情会让人觉得措手不及、很难处理”所以口语中throw sb. a curveball可以表达：“打某个人一个措手不及”这样的意思；to do something unexpected that makes someone confused or causes problems;eg: Every so often life will throw you a curveball.生活经常会冷不丁给你出一个难题。生活经常会打你一个措手不及。eg: The damning report threw the company a curve ball.这份谴责性的报告打了这家公司一个措手不及。eg: Just when you think you have it all under control, life throws you a curve ball.正当你觉得一切都尽在掌握的时候，生活打你一个措手不及。eg: New technologies have thrown a curveball at conventional risk assessment.新的技术杀了传统风险评估行业一个措手不及。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】We all know someone who is dealing with a midlife curveball.
