迷你對話學地道口語第222期:辛免於難 化險爲夷
特別聲明：
改節目中的迷你對話精選自口語書籍，其餘講解部分均爲。
迷你對話：
A: There was something wrong with the plane last Thursday.
上週四飛機出事了。
B: Which flight?
哪個航班？
A: Flight 198. Fortunately, there were few passengers.
198航班，幸運的是，飛機上的乘客不多。
B: How about the passengers?
那麼現在乘客情況如何？
A: Well, all the passengers and crew members landed on their feet finally.
哦，所有的乘客和機組人員最後都倖免於難。
地道表達：
land on one’s feet
解詞釋義：
該短語的字面意思爲“雙腳着地”，作爲口語的意思是“安全脫離困境”“（無論發生什麼）總會成功”，所以該短語的引申義爲：化險爲夷，轉危爲安，倖免於難等。
支持範例：
Whatever risks Jim takes, he always seems to land on his feet.
無論吉姆冒什麼樣的險,他似乎總是能免於傷害。
When his father was behind him, he could land on his feet, whenever he made troubles.
在他的父親在世時，無論何時他惹了麻煩，他總能非常安全的脫身。
It took several years and much hard work for Alan and Linda to land on their feet.
Alan 和Linda努力奮鬥了好幾年才從困境中走出來。
Even through all the changes at work, I was still able to land on my feet.
即使經歷工作中的所有變化,我依然能安然脫險。
