<p>俚语：等不及（“马”短语系列6）</p><p>当你急着想做一件事的时候，会有什么样的外在表现？坐立不安还是摩拳擦掌？不管你是怎样的，我们现在看看马是如何的急不可耐。</p><p>“<span word="To">To</span> <span word="champ">champ</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bit">bit</span>”（字面意：嚼马嚼子）就是马焦急时的表现。那么，马的这一的行为怎么就被用来指人急着做某事了呢？那还得从赛马说起。人在观看赛马的时候是很激动的，而马作为赛跑者就更激动啦，可它被拦在围栏里面动也不能动，就只能嚼嘴里的马嚼子了。想想赛马时的情景，这个短语是不是很好记呢？ 看下面例句：</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="owners">owners</span> <span word="were">were</span> <span word="champing">champing</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bit">bit</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="cut">cut</span> <span word="employee">employee</span> <span word="benefits">benefits</span>。（新的老板急于削减员工的福利。）</p><p><span word="Let">Let</span>’<span word="s">s</span> <span word="shake">shake</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="leg">leg</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="kids">kids</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="champing">champing</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bit">bit</span>.（咱们快点吧，孩子们都等不及了。）</p>
