你喜欢看时尚杂志吗？现在的时尚，每季都在换，一会儿时兴鲜艳的颜色，一会儿又时兴复古的样子。幸亏我不是装设计师，否则我肯定无法把握潮流的脉搏。今天我们要介绍给大家的习惯用语是：get a fix on. Fix做为动词，有修理的意思，比如说fix the car修车。不过，fix也可以做名词，其中的一个意思就是定位，get a fix on这个习惯用语用了fix作为名词的定位的意思，指清楚地了解某些人或事。你现在明白我为什么说自己不适合做装设计师了吧？You wouldnt know how to get a fix on the styles that people might want to buy.在下面这个例子里，一名警官解释了他们对一起空难事故现场进行调查时所遇到的困难。让我们一起来听听看。例句-1：Our investigation team combed the site of the plane crash for weeks. Finally, after reviewing countless pieces of evidence, we were able to get a fix on the cause of the accident. Weve determined that ice on the wings was to blame for the tragedy.这位警官说：我们的调查人员对事发地点进行了好几个星期的仔细搜索，调查了数不清的据，最后才确定了事故的起因，我们认为，这次空难是由飞机机翼上的冰块造成的。说起空难，真是怪吓人的。我以前特别怕坐飞机，一上飞机就紧张，结果有个朋友向我推荐了一个网站，让我了解到了飞机的安全系数。Thats where I got a fix on plane safety. 其实，从统计学的角度看，出车祸的机率要比飞机掉下来的机率大得多。******有时候，能了解某个人或是某件事对一个人的成功有很大的好处，但是反过来，如果怎么也搞不懂的话，就会感到特别沮丧。让我们一起听听下面这个年轻人谈谈他跟岳父岳母的关系。例句-2：Since we got married, my wife and I have spent a lot of time with her parents. Just about every weekend we all get together for dinner or go out. I feel like I understand my father-in-law pretty well, but not my mother-in-law. I still havent gotten a fix on her.这个人说：我们结婚后，经常跟岳父岳母在一起，几乎每个周末我们都要一起吃饭或是出去玩。经过这些接触，我觉得我对岳父这个人有了比较清楚的了解，但是岳母大人的喜怒哀乐还是让我模不着头脑。Oh-Oh。这个年轻人真应该向我表Jamie取取经。Jamie最大的本事就是看人。她每次去开会或是参加活动，都会遇到很多陌生人，但是用不了多久，她就能get a fix on them，彻底了解他们，不仅知道他们的喜好，甚至还能预见到他们可能会怎么做，难怪她干推销成绩总是那么好。******大家肯定都知道世界著名的流行歌手麦当娜。麦当娜如今已经年近五十，她在全球的唱片销量也超过了两个亿。我觉得，麦当娜的成功在很大程度上是因为她懂得不断地变化自己的外形和声音，总能给听众带来新鲜的感觉。She is always getting a fix on what her fans are looking for next. /201505/37375901.
