地道表達(dá)
quarterback
1. 解詞釋義
美語(yǔ)中有很多借用的說(shuō)法。Quarterback是“四分衛(wèi)”的意思,指“在足球隊(duì)中是主力”,在此做動(dòng)詞用,意思是“主持,領(lǐng)導(dǎo)”,這個(gè)意思是從美式足球里借用過(guò)來(lái)的。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. She is going to quarterback the party.
晚會(huì)上她當(dāng)主持人。
e.g. She was appointed to quarterback the advertising campaign.
她被委派主持宣傳活動(dòng)。
e.g. Mr Perkins will quarterback the evening service.
珀金斯先生將主持晚禮拜。
