校園英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)(MP3+字幕)第16期:around the corner

字號(hào):

around the corner 在近處
    【講解】
    此語(yǔ)的本義為“在拐角處,在近處”,例如: There is a restaurant just round the corner from the house.(房子不遠(yuǎn)處有一家飯館。) 其引申義為likely to happen soon(即將發(fā)生,在不遠(yuǎn)的將來(lái)),例如:Economic recovery is around the corner.(經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇,勢(shì)在必行。)為加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣,可在其前加上just,同義詞組有 be about to, be on the point of.
