Put one's best foot forward 朋友的朋友是位刚从大学毕业不久的女孩,年底在纽约找到了工作。离家上千里,元旦就不回家了。New Year's Eve 我们邀朋友和那女孩一起来玩。聊天中得知,那女孩曾经是大学田径队跑中长距离的。由于自己年轻时也有这一爱好,所以我们谈得特别投机。 她说,她没有得过什么好的名次,「But I always put my best foot forward.」 我问,「起跑时,你左脚在前还是右脚在前?」 她思索了好一会:「左脚在前。」 我随即兴奋地附和:「我也是。」 一次偶然的机会,我看到 put one's best foot forward 有全力以赴之意。难怪她当时对那么简单的提问还是花时间去思考。
