2. I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints have certainly convinced me.
點睛
on target此處意為“切題”,是由其本意“正中目標”引申而來的。right此處為副詞,意為“正好,恰好”,起強調(diào)作用。viewpoint意為“觀點,看法”。convince為及物動詞,意為“使相信,使信服”。
考點歸納
在口語中,想要表示確定的“目標”通常會用到target,其常見搭配如下:
meet targets意為“完成指標,實現(xiàn)目標”。如:
Salespersons are under pressure to meet sales targets. 售貨員承受著要完成銷售指標的壓力。
on target除意為“切題”外,還可指“有可能實現(xiàn)目標”。如:
We're on target for 5% increase by the end of the year. 我們有可能在年底實現(xiàn)增長5%的目標。
target group/audience... 意為“目標群體、觀眾等”。如:
You should clearly identify your target market. 你們需要明確你們所針對的目標市場。
