今日小常识

　　Boats come in all shapes and sizes. Skiffs are very small boats for one person. Yachts are larger boats with sails. Cruise ships are much bigger and take passengers across the sea or ocean. The biggest cargo ships can carry more than 10,000 containers and weigh thousands of tons.

　　船的种类和大小多种多样。Skiffs 是单人小船；Yachts 是稍大一点的帆船或游艇；豪华游轮，也就是 cruise ship 要大得多，可载数千人远航；而最大的货轮可容纳 一万多个集装箱，载重量巨大。

　　如果你 push the boat out 那就表示你讲排场，摆阔气，大肆庆祝。

　　例句

　　Rob's wedding was amazing; they really pushed the boat out and made it a day to remember.

　　As it's our anniversary, let's push the boat out and buy a bottle of champagne!

　　请注意

　　如果一个人 miss the boat 那就表示这个人因等待过久而错过了良机。

　　Sorry John, the deadline for applying for the job has passed. You've missed the boat.
