turn on a dime要是直譯就是在一個十分硬幣上打轉(zhuǎn)。dime是個一丁點兒大小的銀圓，所以turn on a dime一定是形容在極小極小的地方打轉(zhuǎn)。換句話說是活動非常靈巧，在極小的空間中轉(zhuǎn)彎，事情很快會有變化。
【例句】
You know the car is ten years old and one of these days I'll have to spend the money to buy a new one. But there's one thing I love about it, the way it handles - it can really turn on a dime, just like one of those expensive sports cars.
你知道我那輛車已經(jīng)開了十年了，近期內(nèi)我不得不花錢去買輛新的。但是我喜歡這輛車開起來運轉(zhuǎn)自如。它確實非常靈巧，就象那些價值昂貴的賽車那樣。
You shouldn't worry about money, situations can turn on a dime, just be patient.
你不應(yīng)該擔心錢。情況變化無常，要有耐心。
