pop the question

1. 解词释义

Pop 本来是指“短促而清脆的爆破声”，形容的是一种突发的情况。Pop the question字面意思是“突然提出问题”，引申为“求婚”的意思。

2. 拓展范例

e.g. He has been trying for weeks to pluck up the courage to pop the question.

几星期以来,他一直想鼓起勇气求婚。

e.g. Mary has been waiting months for George to pop the question, but up to now he hasn't.

玛丽等着乔治来向她求婚,一直等了几个月, 但直到现在他还没开口。
