口语：“太离谱、措手不及”
<p> 口语：“太离谱、措手不及”</p><p> 特别推荐：《最新汉英特色词汇》</p><p> 再不懂棒球的人也听说过“<span word="base">base</span>”（垒）—— 棒球内场四个角中的一个，通常用帆布袋或橡胶板作为标记。击球手在跑垒过程中，必须触到“垒”才有望得分。由此，在种类繁多的棒球用语中，怎能少得了与“<span word="base">base</span>（垒）”相关的短语？ </p><p> 谈“<span word="off">off</span> <span word="base">base</span>”和“<span word="touch">touch</span> <span word="base">base</span>”之前，先简单介绍一下棒球规则—— 在一局比赛中，如果击球手击中球后沿逆时针方向顺利到达一垒，然后跑完所有的三垒，最后跑回本垒，就能得一分。显然，在棒球比赛中，“<span word="off">off</span> <span word="base">base</span>”指跑垒员不在垒上，而“<span word="touch">touch</span> <span word="base">base</span>”则指击球手跑到某一垒成功触垒。 </p><p> 运用到日常生活中，“<span word="off">off</span> <span word="base">base</span>”常喻指“荒谬的，错的太离谱（尤指基于错误前提之上的错误言行）”，如：<span word="The">The</span> <span word="stories">stories</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="base">base</span>（报道完全失实）；<span word="His">His</span> <span word="description">description</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="accounting">accounting</span> <span word="system">system</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="totally">totally</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="base">base</span>（他所描述的会计体制实在荒诞的离谱）。</p><p> 相应的，“<span word="touch">touch</span> <span word="base">base</span>”在美国口语中指“短暂的逗留”。或者，“<span word="touch">touch</span> <span word="every">every</span> <span word="base">base</span>”常用来形容“面面俱到”；“<span word="touch">touch</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bases">bases</span>”则喻指“谈某一问题的某些方面”。看例句：<span word="He">He</span> <span word="came">came</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="US">US</span> <span word="without">without</span> <span word="touching">touching</span> <span word="base">base</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="England">England</span>（他没在英国逗留就到了美国）；<span word="The">The</span> <span word="reporter">reporter</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="touched">touched</span> <span word="every">every</span> <span word="base">base</span>（记者中谈到了该问题的各个方面）。</p>
