【口语突破】
Pastures new
【释义】
今天我们要说的这个词组是Pastures new,由Pastures和new两个单词构成, 字面意思就是“牧场新”。A pasture 是牧场的意思,家禽们可以在那里自由的吃草。那Pastures new 究竟是什么意思呢?实际上,它的意思是“It's an expression that we use when we are going to enter a new phase of our life, such as getting a new job or moving to a new town.”也就是“好地方,更好的职位”的意思。
【例句】
She decided it was time to move on to pastures new(=a new job, place to live. etc) (BrE英国英语)
她认定换个新工作的时候到了。
