第二、地道表達
carry a torch
1. 解詞釋義
Carry a torch的字面意思是“高舉火炬”,比喻爲“單戀,喜歡”或“執着某一事業或理想”的意思。如果表示單戀,喜歡某人或某物,執着於某一具體的事業或理想,在短語後面用解詞for,後面再接名詞或動名詞短語,即:carry a torch for something or doing something。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. John has carried a torch for Jane for years but she doesn't seem to notice.
約翰已經對簡單戀多年了,但是簡看上去似乎沒注意到。
e.g. I have been carrying a torch for my ballet education career.
