昂立外语【新概念培训】分享stike这个词。strike在我们新概念二的课文中其实经常出现,但每次出现学生总会忘记它的意思。今天就来扩展一些strike的用法,加深印象。
其实strike和美国最热爱的运动——baseball相关。strike有“击打”“碰撞”的意思。而在棒球运动中,有一个区域叫strike zone,意为“好球区”。
要是击球员三次错过投手投来的好球,那么这名击球员就只得垂头丧气地放下手里的球棒,也就是说他出局了。 而“出局”用英文来表示就是strike out。而strike out这个棒球用语早已被人们借用到棒球场外的日常生活中了。
strike-out则可用作名词,表示“失败”。
e.g. I've scored a strike-out in business.
我生意失败了
