今天我们来分享几个美剧中经常出现的常用语

split the difference

互相让步采取折中办法

举个：

You want to sell it at 100 bucks, I want to buy it at 60 dollars, how about we split the difference and go with 80.

你想卖100元, 我想60元买, 咱们折中一下, 80元如何？

click

合拍，有默契

The original meaning of click means make a clicking noise or a short metallic sound. Here means two people can get along well with each other.

举个：

We're really clicking as a couple.

It's all uphill from there

从这之后就越来越好了（安慰人大招！）

这里其实有个小陷阱, 因为uphill本来是上坡路, 艰难的意思, an uphill struggle是指持续不断的困苦, 但在这里uphill又成了越来越好。

top-notch

of the highest quality，excellent, superb,最棒的，一流的(多用于口语)

举个：

This is a contingent of top-notch researchers.

on the same page
