　　Subject: I will throw the professor some curves.

　　迷你對話

　　A: I will state many special opinions. I will throw the professor some curves.

　　我將陳述許多新觀點。我會讓教授大吃一驚。

　　B: That is very exciting! How would you do?

　　真是令人興奮!你怎么做呢?

　　地道表達

　　throw sb some curves

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Throw sb some curves這個短語來自棒球場上，打球者以為投手會投出直球，但是眼前飛來的卻是curve，意思是“讓某人大吃一驚，讓某人嚇一跳”。其英文解釋為：to confuse someone by doing something tricky or unexpected.

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. When you said "house" you threw me a curve. The password was supposed to be "home."

　　當(dāng)你說到house這個詞的時候，嚇了我一大跳，密碼應(yīng)該是home。

　　e.g. John threw me a curve when we were making our presentation, and I forgot my speech.

　　我們在做自我陳述的時候，約翰讓我大吃一驚，我忘記了自己的演說。

　　Ps：state an opinion：陳述觀點
