Example
Man 1: How are Arsenal doing in the Premier League these days?
Arsenal最近在Premier俱樂部表現如何?
Man 2: Oh, they're totally on a roll! They've won all three games this month, including the one against Man United!
他們交上了好運。這個月已經贏了3場比賽,包括和Man United比賽的勝利。
-------------
Helen: So that man thinks his favourite football team are on a roll because they've won all their games. 這支球隊這個月沒輸過一場球,運氣可真好。
Steve: Yes, they've won every game they've played this month – they're playing really well.
(Text message sound)
Helen: Oh, wait a minute. I've got a text message from my husband.
Steve: What's he saying – have you won the lottery again? Are you still on a roll?
(Sound effect of car braking suddenly)
Helen: No... actually, he's just had his bike stolen 不會吧,他的自行車被偷了? and earlier, he lost his car keys 怎么車鑰匙也丟了呢!
Steve: Oh dear, that's bad luck! Unlike you, he's definitely not on a roll.
真是倒霉。和你不同,他運氣不好。
Helen: No... I'd better go and help him look for those keys. Bye!
不……我得去幫他找鑰匙,再見。
Steve: Bye!
