A: It’s a great pity he left suddenly.
    他突然離去,真叫人遺憾。
    B: Yeah. He caught us on the hop.
    是啊,真讓我們措手不及。
    A: He has lost a good chance to understand others.
    他失去了一次了解他人的好機會。
    B: Perhaps you’er right.
    也許你是對的。
    【解詞釋義】
    Catch sb. on the hop中的hop是指“單足跳”,短語onthe hop表示“活動的,安靜不下來的”的意思。那么,catchsb. on the hop “趁人不備時抓住,使人措手不及”等意思。習語詞典中解釋道:If you catch someone on the hop, you do something when they are not readyfor it and may not be able to deal with it well.
