<p>美国习惯用语-第154讲:<span word="To">To</span> <span word="run">run</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tight">tight</span> <span word="ship">ship</span>/<span word="To">To</span> <span word="sit">sit</span> <span word="tight">tight</span></p><p>今天我们要给大家介绍的两个习惯用语里一个关键的字就是: <span word="Tight">Tight</span>. <span word="Tight">Tight</span> 就是「紧」的意思。这个字有的时候具有好的含义,但也有的时候包含坏的意思。比如说,鞋子太紧,<span word="tight">tight</span> <span word="shoes">shoes</span> 会把你的脚挤得很痛,可是,要是一栋房子的屋顶造得很严密,也就是<span word="tight">tight</span> <span word="roof">roof</span>,那你的房子在下雨的时候屋顶就不会漏水。</p><p>我们今天首先要给你讲解的一个习惯用语就是: <span word="To">To</span> <span word="run">run</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tight">tight</span> <span word="ship">ship</span>. <span word="Run">Run</span> 在这里不是跑的意思,而是指管理。<span word="Ship">Ship</span> 就是一艘船。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="run">run</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tight">tight</span> <span word="ship">ship</span> 这个俗语是来自以前使用帆船的时候。那时,一个要求很严的船长往往要他的船员把张帆的绳子拉得紧紧的,这样可以尽量获得风力。在这种船长的领导下,船上的一切器械都放的井井有条,船员也都知道随时要服从命令。可是,现在,<span word="to">to</span> <span word="run">run</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tight">tight</span> <span word="ship">ship</span> 这个俗语已经和船没有直接关系了。它的意思是:一个公司,政府机构或其他组织的领导人在自己的单位纪律严明。下面这个例子就是一个负责人在对新来的工人讲他的要求。</p><p>例句-1:"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="run">run</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tight">tight</span> <span word="ship">ship</span> <span word="around">around</span> <span word="here">here</span>. <span word="That">That</span> <span word="means">means</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="you">you</span>\'<span word="d">d</span> <span word="better">better</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="here">here</span> <span word="at">at</span> 8:30 <span word="and">and</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="don">don</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="until">until</span> 5:30. <span word="No">No</span> <span word="coming">coming</span> <span word="late">late</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="home">home</span> <span word="early">early</span>! <span word="And">And</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="don">don</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="than">than</span> 30 <span word="minutes">minutes</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="lunch">lunch</span>. <span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="understand">understand</span>?"</p><p>这个老板说:「我喜欢在这里实行严格的纪律,这就是说,你们最好8:30 就到这里,5:30 以前不能下班。迟到早退是不行的。午饭时间不能超过半个小时。懂不懂?」</p>
