第一

Break" means your big chance. The chance for you to become more famous or more

在英文裡當你看到這個字

successful. Then we would say, "It's your big break!" Let's take a look at this

他完全沒有折斷你的手或你的腳的意思

sentence. This is your big break. Hold on to it. This is your big break.

在英文中確實常用break這個字

hold on to it. And Number Two. Walk on thin ice. Walk on thin ice. In Chinese, we

例如，如果你想要祝某人好運

have very similar saying, but when you say this in Chinese, it means you are a

你就會說 break a leg

careful person. You are doing something cautiously. However, in English, when I say

意思是 祝你好運

"You are walking on thin ice," that is a warning. It is to warn you that you're

這裡的big break 意思是你的大好機會

doing something dangerous. You are going to get yourself into trouble. Let's take

是你變得更有名或成功的好機會

a look at the example sentence. You're walking on thin ice. Don't make another

我們就會說 It's your big break

mistake. You're walking on thin ice. Don't make

我們就看看這個句子

another mistake. And Number Three. Luck out. Luck out. If you interpret this phrase

第二

literally, you might think it means you are out of luck. You are not very lucky.

在中文有非常類似的說法

However, it is totally different. When you say somebody "lucked out," it means that

但在中文中意思是你是個小心的人

person has very good luck. The word "luck" here is used as a verb.

你很小心地從事某事

Let's take a look at the sentence here. Our team just lucked out in last night's

但在英文中，當我說

game. Our team just lucked out in last night's game. And let's move on.

You are walking on thin ice

Number Four. Hold a candle to. Hold a candle to.

這是個警告

Literally, when you hold a candle to someone.

to be performing very well. Usually, this

我們來看看這個例句

phrase is used with a "not" in the front, so you would say "can't hold a candle to"

第三

Let's take a look at the sentence here. Don't worry. He can't even hold a candle

如果你直接在字面上看這個片語

to you. You are still going to win. Don't worry. He can't even hold a candle to

你可能會以為意思是你的好運用盡了

you. You are still going to win. And Number Five.

你走歹運

Catch wind of. Catch wind of. To catch wind of something means something is

但是，這個意思完全不同

spreading over the wind. Not something smelly. In Chinese, there is actually a

當你說某個人 luck out

very similar phrase to "catch wind of." It means to hear of something, to hear

意思是這個人 走運了

about something that happened to someone else. This phrase is most of the time

luck在這裡是當作動詞使用的

used on something you're not supposed to know.

我們來看看這個句子

So when you say "catch wind of something" it means you learn something you're not

我們繼續

supposed to know. It's a secret. Let's take a look at the example

第四

sentence. They tried very hard to cover the secret, but their parents still

字面上當你拿蠟燭給人

still caught wind of it. And Number Six. Get a kick out of. Get a kick out of. To get a

意思是能夠與某人匹敵
