where the rubber meets the road 事物真相揭曉的時刻
今天來講個有趣的俚語: where the rubber meets the road 想想看: 車胎(橡膠rubber在此之意)一碰到地面, 行不行/管不管用馬上就知道! 簡單的說就是"事物真相揭曉的時刻" ( the moment of truth of something) 舉例而言: An athlete can train all day, but the race is where the rubber meets the road and they'll know how good they really are. 運動員成天都在訓練,但比賽成效優劣才見分曉。
