1. The little girl had a ball at school today. 这个小女孩今天在学校参加了一个舞会。
在上面这个句子里,ball的意思是“舞会。
另外,常见的短语on the ball 通常表示“有知识,有才华,懂行,办事利索等意思。例如:
2. He is a teacher who is really on the ball. 他是个了不起的老师。
那么,由此类推,have nothing on the ball就肯定是“没有才华,办事不利的意思了。
a student who has nothing on the ball 学得一塌糊涂的学生
有时候,我们还会用ball这个词来指代某件事情或者某个任务,比如:
3. I am glad you have started the ball rolling. 很高兴你把这事推动起来了。
4. The ball is in your court now. 现在球已到你那边了。(意即得由你做决定了)
最后再补充一点,我们知道fireball是“火球的意思,在日常表达中其实也常常引申为“成功、热情、精力旺盛之意。例如:
5. I hope John will join us, he is a fireball (or he is a ball of fire). 我希望约翰能加入我们,他是个精力旺盛的人。
