大家好,欢迎收听《》。我是冯菲菲。
Rob
… and hello I'm Rob. So what's this I hear about your new business idea ?
Yes, I'm going to make and sell cakes. 我准备开一个蛋糕店。
Rob
Hmm, are you sure ?
Yes I'm sure. Look I've already made this batch of muffins.
Rob
Err, are they supposed to be black? Cooking isn't really your speciality is it?
做饭不是我的特长?Rob,你可别太小看我,just you watch, I'm going to be a millionaire selling my homemade cakes.
Rob
I'm sorry to say but I think you're going to fall at the first hurdle.
Don't be stupid Rob, I'm not going to be jumping any hurdles – we're not talking about sport – just cooking.
Rob
No – I mean you're going to fail right at the start of what you're trying to do.
Thanks Rob! 短语 fall at the first hurdle 用来形容在做某事时,一开始就遇阻从而失败,也就是我们常说的“跌倒在第一关”。Rob, you think by cooking these 'black' muffins means I have already failed?
Rob
Well they are burnt. Let's hear some examples of other people who have fallen at the first hurdle….
Examples
Plans to construct a new motorway will fall at the first hurdle if they can't buy the farmland to build it on.
His dream of marrying Julie fell at the first hurdle when he discovered she was already married.
To fall at the first hurdle 的意思就是“倒在第一关”。Ah, but Rob, why don't you actually taste one of these muffins before you call me a failure?
Rob
OK here goes. Mmm, actually, not bad . They're not burnt…
… no, it's actually a layer of crunchy toffee.
Rob
OK, I'm sorry for doubting you… but you're going to have to sell lots of muffins if you want to be a millionaire.
I know. Perhaps I'll just sell these ones first and see how I get on.
Rob
Good idea. Just make sure you don't fall at the final hurdle!
在最后时刻跌倒?You mean fail near the end of what I'm trying to do?
Rob
Exactly.
I won't – as long as you don't keep eating my cakes. Hands off!
Rob
Oh sorry.
Both
Bye!
