around(around the corner)

地道英文表达｜马上——around the corner

Around the corner的意思是“马上，不久之后”。

例句：

Like most Americans, I don't focus on Christmas shopping until December. That's because Thanksgiving comes on the last Thursday of November. It's only after the big family dinner, the parades and football games are over, that I can start thinking about buying gifts. By then, Christmas is right around the corner! I can't believe how soon it is.

和大部分美国人一样，我都是到十二月才会开始想采办圣诞节年货的事。这是因为感恩节是11月的最后一个星期四，要在感恩节的家庭大餐、节日游行和橄榄球比赛都过去之后，我才能腾出脑筋想采办圣诞礼物的事儿。可到那时，圣诞节已经近在眼前了! 我简直不能相信时间会过得这么快!
