網(wǎng)羅天下新鮮、好玩、有趣、時(shí)尚的英語表達(dá)，盡在可可英語獨(dú)家專欄節(jié)目"E聊吧"。
本期節(jié)目的topic:人人皆有得意之時(shí)
Every dog has his day. Every dog has its day.的意思是“凡人皆有得意時(shí);每個(gè)人總會(huì)有實(shí)現(xiàn)自己愿望的一天”。
比如,一個(gè)公司的職員很想被提升,但是,他的愿望沒有實(shí)現(xiàn),而另一個(gè)同事卻被提升了。回到家里,他的妻子聽到這一消息后對他說:
Darling, I know how upset you are that you didn't get the promotion. But don't take it too hard-your turn will come. You know what they say—every dog has his day!
親愛的,我知道你因?yàn)闆]有被提升而感到很不開心。你可別把這件事看得太重了。你以后會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)的。就像他們說的:人人都有得意之時(shí)嘛。
下面的例子是一個(gè)作家因找不到出版商出版他的作品而感到煩惱,他的朋友勸他說:
Okay, so this publisher sent back your manuscript, there are plenty of other publishers. You'll
find one who'll buy it—remember, every dog has his day!
行了,就算這個(gè)出版商把你的手稿退了回來,那還有好多出版商呢。你會(huì)找到一個(gè)愿意接受你作品的出版商的。別忘了,人人都會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)的。
