俚语：“在行、有一手”
<p>俚语：“在行、有一手”</p><p>棒球有“美国国球”之称。或许，一本“棒球百科全书”比一本简单的字典更能反映美国文化。据《迪克逊新棒球词典》（<span word="Paul">Paul</span> <span word="Dickson">Dickson</span>所著）记载，俚语“<span word="have">have</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>”源于棒球运动，指的是“某人有一手，做某事很在行”。 “<span word="Have">Have</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>”最早出现于20世纪初，用来形容棒球手出手不凡，击球、投球、守球以及跑垒和偷垒样样精通，赛场上能完全控制局势，令对手“望球生畏”。当然，由“<span word="have">have</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>”，我们还可衍生出一系列短语：<span word="have">have</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>（有些能耐）；<span word="have">have</span> <span word="nothing">nothing</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>（不中用）；<span word="have">have</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>（很有一手，很能干）。 另外，“<span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>”还可和其它动词如<span word="stay">stay</span>、<span word="keep">keep</span>和<span word="be">be</span>连用，依据具体语境表示“提防”、“机灵”、“勤奋”或“能干”…… 看几个例句： <span word="He">He</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="well">well</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>.（他很有一手，肯定能做好这件事。）</p><p><span word="As">As</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="politician">politician</span>, <span word="you">you</span> <span word="must">must</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="election">election</span>.（你是一名政治家，必须在选举中时刻警惕。）</p><p><span word="Her">Her</span> <span word="typing">typing</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span>.（她打字顶呱呱。）</p>
