【句子】I take my eye off the ball for one minute, and I’ve got one in a coma, one with a black eye, and one running a crime ring. 【Modern Family S03E05】 【发音】/aɪ/ /teɪk/ /maɪ/ /aɪ/ /ɒf/ /ɑːf/ /ðə/ /bɔːl/ /bɑːl/ /fɔː(r)/ /wʌn/ /ˈmɪn.ɪt/ /ənd/ /aɪv/ /gɒt/ /gɑːt/ /wʌn/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /ˈkəʊ.mə/ /wʌn/ /wɪð/ /ə/ /blæk/ /aɪ/ /ənd/ /wʌn/ /ˌrʌn.ɪŋ/ /ə/ /kraɪm/ /rɪŋ/【发音技巧】take my不完全爆破；and I’ve连读；got one类似不完全爆破的处理；in a连读；with a连读；black eye连读；and one类似不完全爆破的处理；running a连读；【翻译】我就一小会儿没盯着孩子们，他们就一个陷入昏迷，一个变成乌眼青，还有一个在组织犯罪团伙。【适用场合】今天我们来学习两个很有趣的短语：1. take (one's) eye off the ball和2. a black eye；首先先来看一下第一个短语：1. take (one's) eye off the ball这个短语的字面意思是：把目光从那个球上挪开；对应的英文解释：to fail to remain focused on or motivated about some goal, objective, or matter at hand对一些目标或手头的事情无法保持专注或无法产生动力eg: You can't take your eye off the ball for a moment on this project.你一刻也不能把注意力从这个项目上移开。（这个项目时时刻刻你都不能掉以轻心。）eg: I was on my way to earning my PhD, but I really took my eye off the ball toward the end of the program.我当时正在攻读博士学位，但在这个课题快结束时，我注意力都没在那上面了。大家通过take (one's) eye off the ball这个短语，能猜出其反义短语吗？我们来揭晓答案：keep (one's) eye on the ball，意思是：to keep somebody very focused on something保持某个人的目光在某个东西上；使某个人非常关注某个事情/某个事物；eg: I graduated in just three years because I was able to keep my eye on the ball and prioritize my studies above all else.我只用了三年就毕业了，因为我能集中精力，把学习放在首位。eg: She won widespread praise for her tough negotiating skills and her ability to keep her eye on the ball.她凭借强硬的谈判技巧和极强的专注力赢得了广泛赞誉。eg: We’ve got to keep our eye on the ball if we want to remain successful.如果我们想继续保持成功，就必须保持专注力。2. 今天要学***二个短语叫做：a black eye，字面的意思是：“一只黑色的眼睛”。其实指的是“被打过后的眼睛；有淤青的眼睛；乌眼青”an eye where the skin around it has gone dark because it has been hit eg: He had a fight at school and came home with a black eye.他在学校打了一架，带着一只乌眼青回家了。eg: He punched her in the face at least once giving her a black eye.他朝她的脸揍了不止一拳，结果把她弄成了一只乌眼青。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】It's important to keep your eye on the ball and improve your ability at all times.
