Welcome to Authentic Real English, with me Neil…

And me, Feifei. 大家好。

We have an expression which is used to say that something is perfect, the best it can be, or relevant – it's 'on point'.
Feifei
On point. 這個表達該怎么用呢?
Neil
I gave a presentation last week to my colleagues on digital sales strategy and my boss was really impressed. He said my workshop was on point.
Feifei
你上周作了一個演示報告,老板夸你的表現(xiàn) “on point”,也就是說你作的報告 “非常好”,對要點解釋得 “很到位,很完美”。
Neil
Thanks. I was also wearing a clean suit and freshly ironed shirt. I looked on point.
Feifei
You did look very smart! 你的著裝也是 “on point(到位的)”。
Neil
Let's hear some more examples.
Examples
My cauliflower bake was really on point at the vegan wedding.
My boss's comments about improving business profits were on point.
My beard looks on point after using a new lotion.

你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。上面我們介紹了 “on point” 的含義和用法。它是一個非正式表達,意思是 “非常好的,完美的”。
Neil
Yes! 'On point' can also be used to mean that something is perfectly appropriate for a situation. For example, the perfect comment at the right time could be described as 'on point'.
Feifei
Yes. 表達 “on point” 也可以用來指 “恰當?shù)皿w的,非常合適的”。比如,當老師或上司給你提出了非常有用的建議時,你就可以說他們的建議是 “on point(中肯的)”。
Neil
Exactly – when I was younger, my teacher advised me to focus on English as that was my strong subject. Her advice was on point. Now I'm an English teacher!
Feifei
You certainly are.
Neil
Bye!
Feifei
Bye!
