这个短语的来源是源于古英语中的 "handig",意思是 "方便的"。在现代英语中,"to come in handy" 意味着某物能在需要时派上用场。
例句:
It's always good to have a flashlight on hand in case of power outages. It might come in handy.
(有一个手电筒总是很好,以防停电。它可能会派上用场。)
I'm glad I learned CPR years ago. You never know when that kind of knowledge might come in handy.
(我很高兴我多年前学会了心肺复苏术。你永远不知道什么时候这种知识会派上用场。)
My sister's fluent in Spanish, so having her translate for me while I was in Mexico really came in handy.
(我的姐姐会说流利的西班牙语,所以在我在墨西哥的时候,让她为我翻译真的很有用。)
