刚刚走出校园、参加工作的毕业生们听的最多的祝福莫过于前途了吧。家长们、师长们、学弟学妹们会真心地祝愿你前程似锦、前途无量、大展宏图……那么,“前途无量”用英语怎么说呢?请看:the sky's the limit。
从字面意思看,“the sky's the limit”即“天空是你的界限”。在古人的印象中,天是很高很远的,所以如果把天作为界限,那跟没有界限也差不多了。后来,这种说法被引申到很多其他领域,意思就是“the possiblitiesare endless: 一切皆有可能”。
例如:For people who work hard at this company, the sky's the limit.(在这家公司努力工作的人会前途无量。)
我们除了可以用它来祝愿别人前途无量,也可以用在消费的时候,表示“随便买东西,不用考虑钱”。
看下面例句:
Order anything on the menu--the sky's the limit. (随便点菜,不用在乎价钱。)
