It's a turning point in his life
turning point,通俗地講,就是我們常說的“轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)、契機(jī)”。
如:After joining the company, my career has had a very smooth development. It seems that this job-hopping is a turning point for me(我來到新公司發(fā)展得不錯(cuò), 看來這次跳槽是我的一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn))。
This is a turning point in history.(這是歷史的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn))。
在口語中,我們還經(jīng)常用a big break來表示“大轉(zhuǎn)折、大的突破”之意。
如:When the star was taken ill, the understudy finally got her first big break(主角生病的時(shí)候,那個(gè)候補(bǔ)演員終于得到了第一個(gè)露臉的機(jī)會(huì))。
