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。
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 toreplace 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 thebait.
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.
