迷你对话:

A: He has come to life in the end.

他终于清醒过来了。

B: Oh, thank God. We all felt frightened by the bad new about him.

哦,谢天谢地。一听到有关的坏消息,我们都吓坏了。

A: Yes. Fortunately, an ambulance passed in the nick of time, and we got him away to hospital.

就是,幸亏一辆救护车经过,我们才把你送到医院。

B: Right. Unless, who know what will happen.

是呀,不然,谁知道会发生什么事情。

A: Wish him to be healthy soon.

但愿他赶快好起来。

地道表达:

in the nick of time

解词释义:

在18世纪以前人们是通过木签(tally)上的刻痕来记账和计时的。这种刻痕叫做notch,也称作nick。此语原作in the nick,而of time是后面加上去的,先表示“在关键时刻”。此语中可以加very一词用于强调。
