视频详情 动词 crunch 有 “嘎吱嘎吱咬嚼” 的意思，但把它和 “time” 搭配使用，意思还和 “吃东西” 有个关吗？本集节目中介绍一个地道的表达，描述在面对困难时需要做决定的时刻。

FeifeiHello and welcome to Authentic Real English. 欢迎来到《地道英语》节目，我是冯菲菲RobAnd hello, this is Rob. And its an important day in the office today, isnt it, Feifei?。

FeifeiErr, is it? RobYes it is! Remember that big project weve all been working on?FeifeiBig project? 我不懂你说的是哪个大项目？

RobWell its crunch time.FeifeiOh great – Im starving. Ill get my crisps.RobNo no no, I didnt say lunch time.

Feifei我知道你没说“lunch time 午饭时间”，但你说“crunch time 嘎吱咀嚼时间”所以我提议咱们吃“crisps 薯片”I love crisps.RobNo, no – I didnt mean its time to crunch crisps. Crunch time is an important or critical time when a decisive or difficult decision has to be made – and its crunch time for our big project.。

FeifeiIf you say so, Rob. Crunch time 其实和嘎吱嘎吱吃东西没有任何关系它用来比喻事件进行到“关键时刻，重要时刻，做决定的时刻”So, Rob, why dont I finish these crisps while we hear some examples of the expression crunch time?。

ExamplesWeve reached crunch time in our relationship – Im going to ask my boyfriend to move in with me. I wonder what hell say?

The team are doing well but come crunch time, will they score that vital goal?Its crunch time for us tomorrow – thats when we find out if our building plans have been approved.

Feifei这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目我们在这集节目中教给大家的地道说法是“crunch time”，它用来描述面对困难时，必须做出决定的“关键时刻，紧要关头”But, Rob, Im still not clear why its crunch time for our big project?。

RobCome on, Feifei, you know – the project weve been working on for months.Feifei哦，你是在说咱们的那个“饼干项目”吧？Rob

Exactly! We have to decide today which biscuits were going to buy for our meetings. If we dont order them today, we wont have anything to eat in tomorrows meeting.

FeifeiErr. So, Rob, your crunch time is just about what youll be crunching tomorrow. You really need to change your priorities. I think Ive reached crunch time in this programme.

RobWhats that? Youve got a big decision to make?FeifeiYes - to finish this programme or finish my crisps.

RobShall we just eat the crisps? Feifei: OK. Bye.Rob: Bye. Pass them over then.Rob: …mmm.
