Turn on a dime 活動(dòng)非常靈巧

turn on a dime要是直譯就是在一個(gè)十分硬幣上打轉(zhuǎn)。dime是個(gè)一丁點(diǎn)兒大小的銀圓，所以turn on a dime一定是形容在極小極小的地方打轉(zhuǎn)。換句話說(shuō)是活動(dòng)非常靈巧，在極小的空間中轉(zhuǎn)彎，事情很快會(huì)有變化。
【例句】
You know the car is ten years old and one of these days I'll have to spend the money to buy a new one. But there's one thing I love about it, the way it handles - it can really turn on a dime, just like one of those expensive sports cars.
你知道我那輛車已經(jīng)開(kāi)了十年了，近期內(nèi)我不得不花錢(qián)去買(mǎi)輛新的。但是我喜歡這輛車開(kāi)起來(lái)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)自如。它確實(shí)非常靈巧，就象那些價(jià)值昂貴的賽車那樣。
You shouldn't worry about money, situations can turn on a dime, just be patient.
你不應(yīng)該擔(dān)心錢(qián)。情況變化無(wú)常，要有耐心。
