妙语佳句，活学活用
1.go to the wire: 这里是打电话的意思。主持人对Jamal说：“最后一个求救了， 电话连线！” 通常短语 go to the wire的意思是“某一事接近结束，将要到达终点”。例如：

2.lifeline：救生索，生命线。片中主持人用the finallifeline 提醒这是Jamal最后一个求助机会。来看例句：
Lenders offer borrowers a lifeline. 贷款人提供借款人的生命线。
This will be your lifeline.这可是你的救命稻草了。
3.go for a walk on：片中主持人见求助电话一直无人接听，打趣道：“在弟弟为了2千万卢比求助，自己却置若罔闻的那种哥哥吗？” 这里是袖手旁观的意思。通常“go for a walk”是散步的意思。例句：
Let's go for a walk on the deck first.我们先到甲板上去散散步吧。
4.on one's own:独立的，独自的。主持人对Jamal说：“你得靠你自己了 Jamal。” 来看例句：
I only act on my own principles.我只按自己的原则办事。
