90. The answer is out there.

电视影集《X档案》有句名言:「真相就在那里。」The truth2 is out there.但在哪

里?就是在「那里」,只不过需要要你一个人去找而已!当有人说The answer is out

there.时,代表这答案是远在天边,一步之遥,只不过当局者迷,你一时看不透罢了!或

者是,有的问题的答案显而易见,但却是如何想都想不起来时,你也可以说:The

answer is out there.。当然,当大伙都不了解答案而只有你了解时,你也可以故弄玄

虚地说:The answer is out there.

91. The time has come to make a choice3.

这里的the time是指「重点性的时刻」,就是没时间再叫你想东想西。譬如说你参加了

《超级大富翁》,这一题的答案实在是不了解该选蛋黄还是纸条,而时间已经到了,主

持人就会告诉你:The time has come to make a choice.或是你脚踏两条船,东窗事

发了,此时你踏的那两艘船就会告诉你:The time has come to make a choice.

92. Do I make myself4 clear5?

「我说得够了解吗?」Do I make myself clear?,这就等于中文的「你了解吗?」

一般Do I make myself clear?的用法机会是在吵架,或是上对下的批评,但其中带

有「警告」的意味,就是有人屡劝不听,你已经受不了而给他最后警告时,最后就可补

上这一句Do I make myself clear?

93. There's no turning6 back.

依字面上来看,There's no turning back.就是「没退路。」的意思,但凡遇见势在

必行,决定了就不可以反悔的事情,都可以说There's no turning back.。说得文言一点

就是「背水一战」。

94. Time is always against7 us.

against就是「跟相反,跟作对」,所以Time is always against us.这句就

是「时间一直跟大家作对。」也就是在抱怨时间不够时,常常会脱口而说的一句话。例

如答应老师放学前把作业交出来,没想到时光飞逝,转眼就放学了,这时你就能

感叹地说:Time is always against us.
