1. Anywhere but here. 除了这里,哪里都好
1) Anyone but her. 除了她,别人都行。
2) Anything but this. 除了这个,其他都行。
疯狂联想:这是个万能句型。比如,购物时,售货员一直向你推销最贵的产品,此时你只好狠下心对她说:“ Anything but this...”
2. Asleep at the switch 玩忽职守,渎职,失职
The new comer was asleep at the switch and two trains crashed.
新来的扳道工玩忽职守,导致两列火车相撞。
释义:
switch: 道班,铁轨扳道处
asleep at the switch: 直译是扳道工在铁轨的道班值班时睡觉,比喻玩忽职守。
