  • 成語 Idioms
  • not up to par 不符標準
    par 在高爾夫球術語中是指「標準桿」,由此引申指「一般的標準;期待中的水準」,所以 not up to par 即「沒有達到標準」之意。
      Ed's grades are not up to par this semester.
        艾德這學期的成績並沒有達到標準

    Dialogue 1 
    Mark and Jane are playing a game of golf on a hot summer day.
    炎炎夏日,馬克和珍正在打高爾夫球。
    Mark: Wow, it's really hot out here today! I'm glad we have this electric golf cart to help us get around the golf course. 馬克: 哇,今天外頭真熱!幸好我們有這台電動高爾夫球車,可以坐著在球場上到處跑。
    Jane: Me, too. My golf bag is way too heavy for me to carry. 珍: 是啊。我的球袋太重了,我拿不動。
    Mark: Your bag is heavy because you brought too many clubs. You don't need all these irons and woods. 馬克: 妳的球袋重是因為妳帶太多球桿了。妳不需要這麼多鐵桿和木桿的。
    Jane: Well, let's stop chatting and start golfing. You tee off first. 珍: 好吧,不要聊天了,開始打球吧。你先開球。
    Mark: OK. Hey, I can't find my driver. Have you seen it anywhere? 馬克: 好。嘿,我找不到我的發球桿。妳有沒有看到?
    Jane: Here it is. You accidentally put it in my bag. That's probably part of the reason why my bag is so heavy! 珍: 在這兒。你不小心放到我的球袋裡來了。說不定就是因為這樣我的球袋才那麼重!
    Mark: Sorry about that. Here goes nothing. Fore! 馬克: 對不起。放手一搏吧。看球!
    Jane: Nice shot, Mark. You hit your ball right into the water hazard! 珍: 好球,馬克,你的球正中水池!
    Dialogue 2 
    Jane and Mark continue golfing. They're about to finish the tenth hole.
    珍和馬克繼續打高爾夫球。他們就快打完第十洞了。
    Mark: Despite my bad start, this is turning out to be a great round of golf! 馬克︰ 雖然我一開始打得不順,但這局球愈來愈好玩了!
    Jane: You're right. It has cooled down a bit, and I can feel a breeze. 珍: 你說得對。現在天氣涼一點了,我可以感覺到有風呢。
    Mark: Please hand me my nine iron. I have a difficult shot to make. 馬克: 請把九號鐵桿遞給我。我這一球很難打。
    Jane: You're on the putting green. I would use a putter if I were you. 珍︰ 你現在在果嶺上,要是我的話就會用推桿。
    Mark: Hey, I hit a birdie on the last hole. I think I know what I'm doing. 馬克: 嘿,我上一洞打出了博蒂欸。我想我曉得自己在做什麼。
    Jane: All right, but don't say that I didn't warn you. If you hit the ball too hard, it will go into that bunker over there. 珍︰ 好吧,不過別說我沒先警告你哦:如果你打太大力的話,球會掉進那邊的沙坑裡。
    Mark: My putting is the best part of my golf game. (Mark hits the ball.) That was a horrible shot! 馬克: 我的球技就屬推桿這部份最強。(馬克擊球)這球打得真爛!
    Jane: See, I told you that you should have used a putter. Oh, and try not to get too much sand in your shoes! 珍︰ 看吧,我早跟你說你應該用推桿的。噢還有,別讓太多沙子跑到你鞋子裡喲!
