【句子】Well, we have bigger boats. But this is the best I could do on two hours' notice. 【Modern Family S3E17】

【发音技巧】But this is不完全爆破+连读；could do失去爆破；notice闪音；

【翻译】我们有大一点的船，但是你们提前两个小时才订，就只能选这艘船了。

今天我们学习一下on two hours' notice的意思，可以理解成“提前2小时”；

你可以换词，比如说on a few hours' notice，“提前几个小时”；

on a moment's notice，“提前一小会儿”；

再比如，on short notice就可以理解成：without much warning or time to prepare“在很短的时间内、不留多少准备时间地”；

值得注意的是，这类短语中，介词on也可以换成at，一样的意思；

eg: Finding a replacement could prove difficult on short notice.

这么短的时间内，要找一个替代品，可能会很难。

eg: Lucy was ready to leave at a moment's notice.

露西随时准备离开。

eg: Who do you think will be free to watch the dog on such short notice?

这么短的时间内，你觉得谁有空去看着狗？

eg: When you're on call, you need to be available to come in on short notice.
