身臨其境練一練:
本對話選自《CSI:Las Vegas》(犯罪現場調查:拉斯維加斯)。本段對話發(fā)生在Warrick和主管Grissom之間,由于證據原因一個嫌疑人被釋放了,Grissom很郁悶,他給Warrick講了一個故事。
錦囊妙語學一學:
1.double-edged sword:雙刃劍
double-edged sword 是雙刃劍的意思,代表一件事情可能既有好的作用又有壞的影響。
ex.:Power is a double-edged sword,don't let it corrupt you. 權力是一把雙刃劍,不要讓它侵蝕你。
2.take a leak:撒尿,小便
ex.:I'm just going to take/have a leak.(=to urinate)我正要去撒尿。
