1轉(zhuǎn)眼間
【轉(zhuǎn)眼間】
If you call on me, I’ll be there, in a heartbeat “立馬,毫不猶豫,轉(zhuǎn)眼間” 美語(yǔ)里有很多種說(shuō)法。
今天教大家 “In a Heartbeat”,在你心跳一次的時(shí)間內(nèi)……
比如:When she is sad, he will be there in a heartbeat to comfort her 她傷心的時(shí)候,他轉(zhuǎn)眼就回去安慰她。

"50/50" 讀:Fifty-fifty。有3種常用的情景 【① 賭博 ② 生存率 ③ 感覺(jué)】

② The doctor says my odds are 50/50 醫(yī)生說(shuō)活的幾率是50%

5放松
【放松】
“Unwind" 。這個(gè)動(dòng)詞在字典里一個(gè)意思是“放松”。
注意wind的發(fā)音,跟“風(fēng)”發(fā)音不一樣。
The weekend is here, I need to unwind 周末來(lái)了,我需要放松。
After a day of work, I unwind with music 我用音樂(lè)放松。
也可以說(shuō):“Wind Down”:I need to wind down 我要需要放松。
