Hayley教口语,“留一手”用英语怎么说?
have a card up your sleeve
这个表达起源于19世纪。它来自于纸牌游戏。如果一个人想在纸牌游戏中作弊,他可以把一张A或另一张获胜的牌藏在衬衫袖子里。当他需要的时候,他可以把牌从袖子里抽出来,放到手中。随着时间的推移,人们开始将这个短语泛指任何秘密资源,而不仅仅是赌博中的。
to have an advantage that other people do not know about
有锦囊妙计,有一张王牌,留有一招
England have definitely been the weaker side, but I think they've still got one or two cards up their sleeve.
英格兰队无疑处于弱势,不过我觉得他们还有一两张王牌未打出来。
