<p> 美国的许多习惯用语都已经在民间流传了大约两百年了。可是，今天我们要讲的三个习惯用语都是在最近十年内才开始普遍使用的。第一个是：<span word="go">go</span>-<span word="to">to</span> <span word="guy">guy</span>。<span word="Go">Go</span>-<span word="to">to</span>就是在<span word="go">go</span>和<span word="to">to</span>这两个词当中加一个连接号。<span word="Guy">Guy</span>这个词是一个非常口语的说法，意思是：&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;那个人。中文里有的时候说&<span word="ldquo">ldquo</span>;那个家伙。</p><p> 过去，<span word="guy">guy</span>只是指男人，可是现在也可以用<span word="guy">guy</span>来指女人。<span word="Go">Go</span>-<span word="to">to</span> <span word="guy">guy</span>就是当你需要真实信息的时候你可以靠得上的人，或者是这个人会采取有效的行动来完成某件事。</p><p> <span word="Go">Go</span>-<span word="to">to</span> <span word="guy">guy</span>这个习惯用语原来是来自体育界，具体地说是来自职业篮球。比方说，在一场篮球比赛中，对方球队比你们的球队多了一分，而比赛还有十秒钟就要结束了。</p><p> 在这关键时刻，你就会想把球传给那个最可能投篮得分的球员。这个球员就是<span word="go">go</span>-<span word="to">to</span> <span word="guy">guy</span>。我们就拿大名鼎鼎的篮球健将乔旦来举一个例子吧。请听一个球迷说的话：</p><p> 例句-1：<span word="Michael">Michael</span> <span word="Jordan">Jordan</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="over">over</span> 40 <span word="now">now</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="makes">makes</span> <span word="him">him</span> <span word="older">older</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="anybody">anybody</span> <span word="else">else</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="team">team</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="frantic">frantic</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="few">few</span> <span word="seconds">seconds</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="team">team</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="point">point</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="behind">behind</span>, <span word="put">put</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="hands">hands</span> - <span word="he">he</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="still">still</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="best">best</span> <span word="go">go</span>-<span word="to">to</span> <span word="guy">guy</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="game">game</span>!</p><p> 这个人说： 乔旦现在已经四十出头了，他是那个球队里年纪最大的一个球员。可是，当他的球队落后一、两分，比赛到了最后几秒钟的紧张关头，把球传到他手里就行了。他仍然是篮球界里最靠得上的球员。</p>
