Neil
And hello, I'm Neil.
Hey Neil, I couldn't help overhearing just now but Rob says he's bought a new car?
Neil
Yes, a red one with one of those tops that folds back.
我们的同事 Rob 买了一辆跑车!肯定特别贵。It must have cost him a fortune!
Neil
Oh, you know Rob – he spends money left, right, and centre.
他花钱“left, right, and centre”?你的意思是他到处乱花钱?
Neil
That's right. It's a phrase that just means everywhere or all the time.
我懂了。表达“left, right, and centre”的意思是“时时刻刻,到处,四面八方”。I suppose left, right, and centre is everywhere – in all directions.
Neil
That’s correct. And there are examples left, right, and centre – such as these.
Examples
I'm not surprised the cafe closed, it's been losing customers left, right, and centre over the past couple of years.
You can't miss that new film; they've been promoting it left, right, and centre.
“Left, right, and centre”有时在日常对话中可以被省略地说成“left and right”或“right and left”。Actually, I want to know how Rob can afford a new sports car?
Neil
Well, our boss has been handing out bonuses left, right, and centre – he must have got a big one!
The bonuses aren't that big. It's the bank – they're happy to give out loans left, right, and centre!
Neil
I think you may be right – anyway the good thing is he'll take us for a drive in his new car. Here he comes now…
Rob
Hi there. Jump in!
Bye.
Neil
Bye.
