大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。我是佳瑩。

Neil
… and me, Neil.

Jiaying
Neil，咱們部門(mén)的才藝秀，你的節(jié)目準(zhǔn)備得怎么樣了？

Neil
I've been too busy writing a presentation for you, and doing your shopping. Why are you asking me to do everything for you?

Jiaying
因?yàn)槟愫苣芨砂?！再說(shuō)了，我需要時(shí)間練習(xí)我的表演。I need time to perfect my act for the talent show. I have made a flying start!

Neil
What? For your act, you're starting to learn how to fly?

Jiaying
你聽(tīng)錯(cuò)了，我說(shuō)的是 “a flying start”。表達(dá) “a flying start” 可以用來(lái)指 “一個(gè)良好的開(kāi)端，成功的開(kāi)始”。通常，我們用它來(lái)描述 “（在比賽或競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中某人）迅速起步，搶得優(yōu)勢(shì)”。我正在練習(xí)表演雨傘雜耍呢！

Neil
Oh, OK. Well done on making a flying start on your umbrella juggling act! I can't wait to see it!

Jiaying
I've already juggled seven umbrellas! I'll show you my skills while we listen to these examples.

Examples
Your son has made a flying start in the class. He's a brilliant student.

The athlete got off to a flying start. She set a record in the swimming event.

A flying start on a diet and losing a few kilos early on can really boost someone's confidence.

你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。本期節(jié)目中，我們一起學(xué)習(xí)如何用 “a flying start” 來(lái)表示 “一個(gè)良好的開(kāi)端”。

這個(gè)表達(dá)通常和 “have/make/get off to” 搭配使用 —— have a flying start、make a flying start 或 get off to a flying start。

Neil
I can't believe you juggled all seven umbrellas. How long did it take you to learn?

Jiaying
About an hour. Like I said, I got off to a flying start.

Neil
You really did. That was amazing. I need a flying start for my act. I'm learning to say the alphabet backwards!

Jiaying
Well, good luck with that boring act.

Neil
Thanks.

Jiaying
Right! I need to go and train harder. I want to win this talent show! Bye!

Neil
Bye.
