    1. 这是个什么词?

    词:sidetrack

    英英释义:to direct (someone) away from an activity or subject toward another one that is often less important

    例句: Sorry I got completely sidetracked and didn't attend to your request immediately.
    场景:抱歉我受到了干扰没注意你说什么。
    造句:Sorry I got completely sidetracked and didn't catch what you said.

    1. 为什么选这个词?

    “sidetrack”是动词,意思是“受到了......的干扰”。从它的英文释义来看,这种干扰一般主要会影响到迫切或重要的事情,在口语和写作中都可以使用这个词。

    我们经常突然被某事打扰而忘记做某事或分神,这时候就可以说 “I got sidetracked”。我们来看两个具体的例子:

    I am terribly sorry I didn't send you the file right away. I got sidetracked and forgot it.

    Sorry I got completely sidetracked and didn't attend to your request immediately.

    我们一般说的“讲跑题了”也可以用 sidetrack 来表达:

    Sorry I got sidetracked and talked about my lousy experience at the bar. Where was I?

    这里的意思是:我刚才跑题了,本来不该讲在酒吧的经历,应该接着前面的话题讲。在这句话里“Where was I?”的意思就是“我刚才讲到哪儿来着?”

    再比如,一些主播在做直播的时候,有时候为了照顾听众的问题,讲着讲着就跑题了,就可以说:

    Live streaming hosts are prone to be sidetracked by questions from the audience.

    1. 怎样学会使用这个词?

    1)翻译下面的句子:

    约翰本来想找一个信封,但没想到读起了一些旧时的信件。

    (参考翻译:John was looking for an envelope and got sidetracked reading some old letters.
    场景:抱歉我受到了干扰没注意你说什么。
    造句:Sorry I got completely sidetracked and didn't catch what you said.
