可听距离 within/out of earshot

大家好，我是雨霓。回顾前几期，我们学习了“洗耳恭听”be all ears，“心不在焉”地听 listen with half an ear，“竖起耳朵”仔细听 prick up one's ears。今天我们来介绍的两个短语衍生自同一个词“earshot”the range of distance within which it is possible to be heard or to hear what someone is saying听力可及的范围；可听距离。 由此衍生的短语有：within earshot,以及out of earshot。分别表示在听力可及范围内，听力可及范围外。常搭配be，come，get，move使用。 I don't think you should say anything while the boss is still in/within earshot. 我觉得，老板还没走远你应该什么也别说。 Wait till she's out of earshot before you say anything. 等她走远听不见了，你再说不迟。 As soon as I got within earshot of the music, I decided that I really didn't belong here. 我走近到听到那音乐，就知道这不是我呆的地方。 Mary waited until her children were out of earshot before mentioning the presents she got them. 玛丽等她的孩子们走远了才开始讲她给他们准备的礼物。
