影片簡介

1
in a row0:09
影片例句：A moment ago, we made this volunteer believe she sunk a pair of blindfolded free throws. When earlier, with no blindfold, she missed ten in a row.
例句翻譯：一陣子之前，我們說服一個自願者相信自己在被蒙住雙眼時進了一球。更早之前，沒有矇住雙眼時，她一連錯失了十球。

in a row 的 row 就是「一排」，一件事情排成一排就是「連續發生」的意思。作為副詞修飾動詞，in a row 就是 continuously 或是 in succession。

I watched four seasons of Game of Thrones in a row! I’m exhausted.
我連續看了四季的權力遊戲！真是累斃了。

2
nailed0:14
影片例句：How will she do her second time at the line, now that she thinks she nailed those blindfolded buckets?
例句翻譯：她第二次在罰球線上的表現會怎麼樣呢，現在她認為自己已經可以矇眼投球了？

nail 是「釘子」，不過作為動詞加上一個受詞就是「某件事做得好」。You did a good job 或是 You killed it 也都可以表達相同的意思。

You nailed that interview! Good job!
你面試表現很好！好樣的！

got game1:25
影片例句：But what if one of our volunteers was already good at basketball? Woah, this guy's got game.
例句翻譯：但是如果其中一個自願者已經很會投籃怎麼辦？哇，這個男生很厲害。

got game 一開始指的是對某項運動很在行、很有競爭力。這裡的 got 就是「擁有」，game 就是「實力」，所以要誇一個人很有實力 (尤其是在運動上) 就可以說 he's got game。

Edward's got game! Everyone wants him on their team.
Edward 很有實力！每個人都想要他當隊友。

not as … as one thought2:17
影片例句：So listen, it wasn't as easy as we thought
例句翻譯：所以，這不如我們想像中的簡單。

not as… as one thought 是「不如想像中的...」可以填入不同的形容詞。另一個常用的說法是 not as… as it seems，就是「不如貌似的...」。

It's not as difficult as you thought, just try it!
這個沒有你想像的那麼難，試試看吧！

5
throw someone off 3:03
影片例句：Remember, this guy made nine free throws earlier, but now, it looks like the crowd's negative reinforcement is throwing him off his game.
例句翻譯：記得，這個男生之前投進了九球。但現在，看來是群眾的負面能量讓他出了差錯。

throw someone off 原本是在形容破壞一個人的平衡：throw someone off his balance，不過後來也可用為「潑冷水」、「影響」的意思。

I'm so confident in myself I won't let anyone throw me off.
我自信滿滿，沒有人可以影響我。
