    劇情引導(dǎo):chris成為富家子弟的網(wǎng)球陪練,休息間對(duì)方問起阿加西和亨曼誰的球技更好,chris回答得滴水不漏;而付錢之時(shí)的小小動(dòng)作,又使得他的個(gè)性顯露無疑…

    - 問你,你覺著誰比較棒,比較牛?亨曼還是阿加西?
    - 他們都很出色。
    - 沒錯(cuò),這我知道,我是說,你更希望自己能與誰看齊?
    - 那也不過是暫時(shí)的。隨著比賽的推進(jìn),就能看出他們真的都很出色。話說,我來埋單。
    - 別,想都別想。
    - 拜托了湯姆,我來埋單。
    - 算了算了,把你手挪開吧。
    - 謝謝。下次我來買。
    【口語講解】hold one's own
    這個(gè)詞組并不多見啊,至少某柒是第一次見著,英文的翻譯是be sufficiently competent in a certain situation,在特定情況下成為有效率的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者。好像在中文里蠻難找到相應(yīng)的說法,在這里表示像某人一樣有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。
