Finn: Hello. I'm Finn.

Finn: Yes. And I think it's going to begin now. Shh.

Rabbit in the Headlights 被震住了

Have you ever felt like a rabbit in the headlights?

(whispers) Li, what happened? He was like a rabbit in the headlights.

Li: I don't know, he was really nervous. 非常紧张。不过你刚才说了一句什么兔子?

Finn: Yes, a rabbit in the headlights. It's a phrase used to describe someone who is so nervous that they can't move or speak.

Li: 这是一个短语用来形容以个人极度紧张，说不出话来，也迈不开步了! 不过为什么要提到车头前灯 headlights 呢？

Finn: Ah, well think about if you are driving a car at night and you have your headlights on. Suddenly, a rabbit appears in the middle of the road. But it is too scared by the car driving towards it to run away.

Li: It's a rabbit in the headlights. Oh, Finn, I think Timmy Tapper wants to say something now.

Timmy Tapper: Oh, sorry. Can I just say one more thing?

Awards Host: Sure, go ahead, Timmy!

(Timmy starts tap dancing)

Awards Host: Well, isn't that amazing!

Ha ha. 我想 Timmy 恐怕觉得通过踢踏舞才能更好地交流吧。

Finn: Indeed, while Timmy dances, I have some advice for everyone. If you want to speak confident English, and not be a rabbit in the headlights, why not visit our website to explore our free English learning materials?
