in the blink of an eye

每日一詞---in the blink of an eye

blink是眨眼的意思,而我們通常眨眼不需要一秒鐘,有的人甚至沒意識到自己眨了眼呢!所以啊,這個片語就是指眨眼間、一瞬間,形容"突然"的意思。

想當年我還是個無胸無腦的羅莉,總被長輩們當作吉祥物,拎著去大大小小的餐館飽食一頓。但一眨眼十幾年就這樣過去了,惆悵不禁油然而生啊~這時,就可以這樣說:Time flies, and fourteen years is only a blink of an eye.

而大學畢業的人,也許會感慨時光飛逝,大學四年猶如眨眼瞬間:Even though it really takes four years, it seems like college passed in the blink of an eye.

如果要說有人中了樂透、一夜致富,也可以用這個片語喔:He won the lottery and became rich in the blink of an eye!

好吧,如果有人突然墜入情網了,也能這麼說:I'm surprised that she just fell in love with that guy in the blink of an eye!
