背景:当地时间4月7日,英国首相鲍里斯约翰逊被爆出因感染的新冠病毒症状加重,已送入伦敦当地的圣约翰逊医院ICU病房。并告知内阁,如有突发状况,由英国外交大臣多米尼克拉布暂行首相之职。
当日,拉布在接收英国广播公司BBC采访时告知媒体首相的病情状况,并再次呼吁英国民众配合政府共同抗击新冠病毒。在其采访中,有一段英文可以对我们了解英文母语有一定帮助。
原文:Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has been asked to deputise for PM.Arriving at No.10 on Tuseday, he said the prime minister was “in very good hands”
精读:in very good hands:在英语母语中可以作为“很好”的意思。
例句:I feel in very good hands there, the atmosphere is very pleasant, very casual.
