Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Adverb Phrase 14. The adverb phrase today

is in a flash. Okay. Let's take a look the note here. If something happens in a

情態副詞

flash,  it happens very quickly and immediately. All right. Let's continue.

Of course,  the meaning alludes to the idea that a flash happens very quickly.

So that's what it suggests. We all know that flashes do happen almost

instantaneously,  very quickly. We have two types of flashes. The original one is a

flash of lightning,  so anybody ever see a flash lightning (lightning and thunder sounds ) It happens, boom and

then it's gone very quickly.  It happens and almost instantaneously. It happens

immediately. So that's , that's what we say.  Something could happen in a flash very,

very quickly.  Flash and the second one of course was the flash of a traditional

camera. You know remember before digital cameras.  We had the traditional camera

and somebody had to push the button and then the flash went off. Of course that's

very quickly too.  If you also remember from DC Comics,  they had a character

called " the  Flash" who could run extremely quickly. He was called the Flash because he ...

the idea is that like we sometimes say somebody could just flash by. Go by very,

very quickly. All right. Let's let's take a look at several examples we

have here.  I'm just going down to the convenience store and I will be back in

a flash.  This is a typical way you might hear

somebody use this. Or number two here . She just put her purse down for a second and

it was gone in a flash. It  happened that quickly. What happened ? I just put it down

it's gone. Something like that. Number three. Just wait for me in front of that

school and I'll be back in a flash.  So anytime we say in a flash. We're

letting somebody know very quickly. Right away. You're not fooling around.

It'll happen very quickly. It'll  be soon. Okay.  Anyway,  I hope you got it. I hope it's clear.
