「Caught off guard」是用來形容一個人在不預期的情況下被突然問題或情況所困,令他們感到措手不及。如果想視覺化這個成語,可以想像一個守門員在沒有準備好的情況下突然要接住一個飛來的足球。這種表達常用於描述那些未能預見到某事發生並因此感到驚訝或困難的人。無論是在商業會議中突然被問到一個棘手的問題,還是在家庭聚會中遭到不期而遇的批評,這個語句都非常貼切。
I was caught off guard by his question.
我畀佢個問題整到無哂防備。
She was caught off guard when the alarm went off.
佢畀警鐘響嘅時候措手不及。
We were caught off guard by the sudden change in weather.
我哋畀突如其來嘅天氣變化整到無哂準備。
