To be halfway there
“To be/get halfway” means to have completed half of something or to almost reach a certain level. It is frequently used totalk about distance, time, work andachievements. However, in today’s lesson, it was used to say that the speaker almost has a digital addiction. Obviously, an addiction is not something that is easily meas urable, but we can use the word “halfway” to suggest that this person is beginning to develop this problem.
这个短语的意思是完成一半,或者几乎达到某个程度水平。它经常被用来谈论距离、时间、工作和成就。然而,在今天的课上,用于描述某人的一种数字瘾。很明显,上瘾并不是一种容易衡量的东西,但是我们可以用“一半”这个词来暗示这个人已经开始出现这个问题了。
Note that when talking about things that more easily measured such as distance and time, native speakers will also use “a quarterof the way” and “three-quarters of the way.”
请注意,当谈论更容易测量的事物比如距离和时间时,母语人士也会使用 “a quarter of theway” 和“three-quarters of the way”来描述。
