英語口語練習小對話 第537期:全力拼搏

A: Have your prepared well for the exam?

ing-bottom: 100%;">

你已經爲考試做好準備了嗎？

B: I will fight tooth and nail.

我將全力拼搏。

1. 解釋

Fight tooth and nail其實就是fight with teeth and nails的簡約寫法。Tooth是“牙齒”，nail是“指甲”。在打架的時候，又咬又抓，那可真是一場使出渾身解數的惡鬥。所以，fight tooth and nail的意思就是“全力拼搏”。

2. 例句

e.g. There is another election coming on next fall, and he knows we are going to fight tooth and nail.

來秋另一次大選就要來到了，他知道我們要全力以赴的。

e.g. When Susan took her case against the company to court, people in the office were afraid to testify on her behalf. But she went ahead anyhow, fought tooth and nail, and she won.

當Susan上法庭控告這家公司的時候，辦公室的人都不敢爲她作證，然而她仍然挺身而出，全力拼搏，並取得了勝利。
