Bag 袋子
A bag ,like a handbag or a traveling bag, is quite common .
“The books I bought for you are in the bag. ”The phrase “in the bag” just tells you where the books are. But look at this example:“The scholarship I have been looking forward to is finally in the bag. ”This time “in the bag”is an idiom ,meaning “sure to be won or obtained”. Here is one more example:“The game will be over in a minute or two and our team is 20 points ahead. We have the game in the bag”.
袋子将手提包或旅行袋是非常普通的。
我给你买的书在袋子里,短语in the bag,只告诉你书在什么地方。但请看这个例句:“我盼望的奖学金终于稳拿到手”这时的in the bag是一个成语,意思是“稳操胜券,或肯定到手”。这里还有一个例句:“比赛还有一两分钟就结束,我们队领先20分,这场比赛我们赢定了。”
