敲黑板!与“ball”有关的谚语:
throw in a curve ball
Curve ball是“弧线球”,throw in a curve ball就是“出难题”的意思。
They threw in a curve ball halfway through my interview and said I had to take part in a role-play situation.I think they wanted to test how well I could work under pressure!
面试过半,他们给我出了个难题,让我进入角色情境。他们一定是想看看我在压力下工作表现如何!
on the ball
“在球上”?其实是形容一个人机智、机灵的意思。

弗雷德是负责本项目的最佳人选。他办事灵活,在压力下表现很好。
drop the ball
把球扔了,是不对的。所以这个俚语引申为“犯错误”的意思。

每次我要求你做的事情,你总是失误。
the ball is in one's court
球在某人的院子里,有点像小时候不小心把球打到别人院子里,然后要乖乖地去恳求别人还给你。所以引申为“由某人来决定”的意思。

你知道他的想法,现在决定权在你手中。由你来决定做什么。
接着,介绍一些与运动有关的俚语:
