(单词翻译:单击)

1. Dodge1 a bullet
 
Dodge意指“躲闪、避开”, 能躲过一颗子弹,说明当时的情形相当惊魂,喻指“逃过一劫”。例如:We dodged2 a bullet! (我们躲过了一劫。)
 
2. One's number is up
 
这个短语意思是指“气数将尽”、“快不行了”。 不过,如果事实并非如此,你可以加上“以为”之类的措辞,表示有惊无险。例如:I thought my number was up. (我以为我死定了。)
 
3. Almost/nearly
 
看到almost和nearly,你的第一反应是“几乎”么?其实,它们在有些情况下,翻译为“差一点”更合适,表示“险些”(发生)。例如:He slipped and almost fell.(他滑了一下,险些摔倒。)
 
4. Narrowly escape
 
表示“侥幸逃脱”,narrowly escape经常搭配在一起用。例:We narrowly escaped with our lives. (我们险些没命,真是死里逃生。)或者She narrowly escaped injury. (她差点儿受伤。)
 
5. False alarm
 
False alarm“拉错了的警报”,比喻“事后才发现是不必要的惊慌、虚惊”。 例如:He thought he might be having a heart attack, but his chest pains were just a false alarm.(他以为自己心脏病犯了,但他胸口疼不过是场虚惊。)
