地道表達(dá)：
in the nick of time
解詞釋義：
在18世紀(jì)以前人們是通過(guò)木簽（tally）上的刻痕來(lái)記賬和計(jì)時(shí)的。這種刻痕叫做notch，也稱作nick。此語(yǔ)原作in the nick，而of time是后面加上去的，先表示“在關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻”。此語(yǔ)中可以加very一詞用于強(qiáng)調(diào)。
支持范例：
The army arrived in the nick of time and the town was saved.
軍隊(duì)適時(shí)到達(dá)，這座小鎮(zhèn)得救了。
He got to the station in the nick of time and caught the train.
他及時(shí)趕到車(chē)站,乘上了火車(chē)。
I saw the baby was about to fall off and caught it just in the nick of time.
我看見(jiàn)那個(gè)嬰兒要跌落了，我恰好把他接住了。
The doctor arrived in the nick of time to save the child.
醫(yī)生正好在緊要關(guān)頭趕來(lái)救這個(gè)孩子。
