Have you ever won by a nose? Or maybe you’ve found yourself on the ropes?

With sports playing a central role in the United States, it’s no 1 that the Americans use sports-related sayings to describe their 2 lives. Let’s take a look.

To win by a nose has grown to mean “to succeed by the smallest possible margin( 差 距 ).” 4 , a winning horse is the first horse to show as crossing under a cord( 绳 子 ) or a wire that is stretched ( 伸 展 ) above the finish line. Down to the wire means “not decided until the last minute.” The last section of a horserace is called the home stretch. The home stretch has come to mean “the final stage of an activity.” And if a racehorse is far ahead in a race and clearly going to win, the jockey (赛马的骑师) will sometimes relax and lower his tight grip on the reins (缰绳). From that we get win hands down, which means “win easily.”

Boxing also has given some colorful phrases.

That phrase 5 means “completing a task.” A boxer’s corner man stands outside his corner and assists him 6 rounds. Today, someone who is in your corner is someone who is “ready and 7 help” you. A boxer who needs to hang onto the boxing ring’s ropes to stay on his feet is probably losing the match. On the ropes today describes a situation in which someone is “doing badly and headed toward 8 .” And if a trainer is concerned that continuing a boxing match will only result in serious injuries to his boxer, he can throw a towel or a sponge into the ring. It is a signal to the referee that he wants to end the fight. Throw in the towel means “give up” or “admit defeat.”

Have you ever won by a nose? Or maybe you’ve found yourself on the ropes?
If you did, then you were using sports idioms.
With sports playing a central role in the United States, it’s no 1 that the Americans use sports-related sayings to describe their 2 lives. Let’s take a look.
The sport of horseracing 3 a range of sayings. A close race is won by the horse whose nose is the first to cross the finish line. To win by a nose has grown to mean “to succeed by the smallest possible margin( 差 距 ).” 4 , a winning horse is the first horse to show as crossing under a cord( 绳 子 ) or a wire that is stretched ( 伸 展 ) above the finish line. Down to the wire means “not decided until the last minute.” The last section of a horserace is called the home stretch. The home stretch has come to mean “the final stage of an activity.” And if a racehorse is far ahead in a race and clearly going to win, the jockey (赛马的骑师) will sometimes relax and lower his tight grip on the reins (缰绳). From that we get win hands down, which means “win easily.”
A.between B.willing to C. failure D.also E. looking forward to
Boxing also has given some colorful phrases. The boxing ring’s square shape gives us the phrase to square off, meaning “to prepare for competition.” A boxer who competes in every round in a boxing match is described as going the distance. That phrase 5 means “completing a task.” A boxer’s corner man stands outside his corner and assists him 6 rounds. Today, someone who is in your corner is someone who is “ready and 7 help” you. A boxer who needs to hang onto the boxing ring’s ropes to stay on his feet is probably losing the match. On the ropes today describes a situation in which someone is “doing badly and headed toward 8 .” And if a trainer is concerned that continuing a boxing match will only result in serious injuries to his boxer, he can throw a towel or a sponge into the ring. It is a signal to the referee that he wants to end the fight. Throw in the towel means “give up” or “admit defeat.”
