恒星口语讲堂:"见机行事"用英语怎么说?

若是遇到什么复杂情况，长辈们常常嘱咐我们要“见机行事”，“抓住了机会”就好办事，要是错过了机会，就只有慨叹“痛失良机”了。今天我们就来学学这三个词的表达。

1. 抓住机会 jump at the chance

Jump at the chance 的意思就是“（迅速地）抓住机会”，跳起来抓，是够迅速的，比如：When the lead singer became ill, Sheila jumped at the chance to replace her.

这个片语还有个很形象的变体，就是jump at the bait，看见有好处就跳上去了，比如：They offered a large reward, hoping that someone would jump at the bait.

另外，jump at 也可以表示“抓住……”，通常是有好处的事情，例如：When Dad said he'd help pay for my vacation, I jumped at the offer.
