A:Really?

B:Last night he told the children acliff-hangerstory and both of them were scared out of sleep.

昨天晚上,他给孩子们讲故事把他们俩吓得睡不着。

地道表达:

cliff-hanger

小编讲解:

改习语从字面上解释意思是“挂在悬崖边”,这个举动当然惊险。它原指“系列惊险的电影”,又引申为“扣人心弦的故事”,以及“胜负难分充满悬念的比赛”。

支持范例:

r was nearly involved in a car accident. He called it a narrow escape. But it was really a cliff-hanger.

彼得差点儿出了车祸。他称之为侥幸逃脱,但那确实让他胆战心惊。

词海拾贝:

市长自己也好象刚从睡梦中醒回来一般。
