说实话，这岁数大了，好久都没熬夜看过球儿了，这不欧洲杯开始1/8决赛了嘛，昨儿个又赶上周日就趁机和同事们一起看了一把，结果还真是被惊了一回，荷兰0:2 完败给了捷克，唉~我的橙衣军团呐，就这么被淘汰了......同样喜欢荷兰的 Tony 也只能摇头叹息"It's really took me by surprise! (这真的让我大吃一惊)"

顺道儿说一句，荷兰橙衣军团叫作"The Oranje", 这个 oranje 在荷兰语中就是“橙色”的意思啦。而刚才 Tony 的这句叹息相信大家都秒懂了吧，"take...by surprise"就是"出乎某人意料、让谁大吃一惊"的意思，是不是很好记呢~
