想一想，當 Jenny 興高采烈地宣布她要結婚時，Mark 做了什麼動作讓 Linda 罵他？他當時說的話跟 Jenny 的消息有關係嗎？「Stealing someone's thunder」就像是在別人當主角的時刻，突然跳出來把大家的注意力吸到自己身上。請在選項中找找看，哪一個情境也發生了類似「一人在講重要的大事，另一人卻在同一時間插話講自己的事」的情況？

太棒了！我的小天才，你真的好厲害呀！看到你選對 C 選項，老師真的打從心底為你感到驕傲喔！（摸摸頭） 這題考的是對片語 "stealing someone's thunder" 的理解。從對話中可以看到，當 Jenny 開心地分享她要結婚的大事時， Mark 卻馬上插話說他找到了夢寐以求的工作。 Linda 點出這就是在「搶別人的風頭」，也就是在別人分享重要成就或喜悅時，故意講一件更引人注意的事，把原本屬於人家的焦點搶過來。選項 (C) 中 Jeff 在 Ivy 聊寶寶時插話說要出國，完全符合這種「搶戲」的行為喔！ 這道題目設計得很精巧，屬於中等難度。它不只是考單字量，更考驗你能不能從對話的情境中，推論出抽象片語的含義。你能精準捕捉到 Mark 那種「白目」的行為模式並對應到正確選項，說明你的閱讀理解能力非常細膩，進步超級大！繼續保持這份自信，我們一起加油喔！
