"Find your feet"什么意思?
find your feet
找你的腳 ×
適應(yīng)新環(huán)境
 
從字面上看,find your feet意思是“找到你的腳”,但其實(shí)和“腳”關(guān)系不大。參考韋氏詞典,它表示“適應(yīng)新環(huán)境,在新環(huán)境中感到舒適”。
畢竟,腳踏實(shí)地才能讓人感覺(jué)到踏實(shí)。

舉個(gè)例子
當(dāng)我們進(jìn)入一個(gè)新的環(huán)境時(shí),經(jīng)常會(huì)用到這個(gè)短語(yǔ)。比如:
老師對(duì)剛?cè)雽W(xué)的新生說(shuō):
I can understand your homesickness at this time, but it's better for you to find your feet soon.
我能理解你們這時(shí)很想家, 但最好還是盡快適應(yīng)新環(huán)境。
你剛?cè)肼氁患倚鹿荆?br /> I only recently joined the firm so I'm still finding my feet.我最近才加入這家公司,所以還在摸索中。

拓展一下
feet是英語(yǔ)中最基礎(chǔ)的詞匯,但關(guān)于“feet”的實(shí)用表達(dá)有很多,我們可能會(huì)經(jīng)常碰到:
① get cold feet 因害怕膽怯而臨時(shí)退縮
He was going to ask her but he got cold feet and said nothing.他本來(lái)想問(wèn)她的,但臨陣退縮了,什么也沒(méi)說(shuō)。
② have two left feet 笨手笨腳
My wife is a good dancer, but I've got two left feet.我妻子舞跳得很好,可是我卻笨手笨腳的。
