 第519期:令大吃一惊,吓一大跳

Subject: I will throw the professor some curves. 
情景对话:  A: I will state many special opinions. I will throw the professor some curves.  我将陈述许多新观点。我会让教授大吃一惊。   B: That is very exciting! How would you do?  真是令人兴奋!你怎么做呢? 
地道表达  throw sb some curves 
1. 解词释义  Throw sb some curves这个短语来自棒球场上,打球者以为投手会投出直球,但是眼前飞来的却是curve,意思是“让某人大吃一惊,让某人吓一跳”。其英文解释为:to confuse someone by doing something tricky or unexpected.    2. 拓展例句  e.g. When you said "house" you threw me a curve. The password was supposed to be "home."  当你说到house这个词的时候,吓了我一大跳,密码应该是home。   e.g. John threw me a curve when we were making our presentation, and I forgot my speech.  我们在做自我陈述的时候,约翰让我大吃一惊,我忘记了自己的演说。
