这是CN人才网小编提供的办公室英语胸怀大志口语，欢迎浏览。
核心句型：
He hitches his wagon to a star.他胸怀大志。
hitch one's wagon to a star 直译过来就是：“将自己的马车拴在星星上”，星星在天上，要把马车拴到星星上，可想这是一件多么艰难而不可思议的事。所以这个短语的正确意思是：“胸怀大志”。因此，当美国人说"He hitches his wagon to a star."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"He is a man full of ambition."、"He aims high."、"His aspiration is far-reaching."。

Former champions Argentina and England claimed hard-fought victories on a sweltering second day of the World Cup finals in Germany. England, who have not won the World Cup for four decades, were fortunate to emerge with a 1-0 win in Frankfurt, relying on an early own goal by Paraguay captain Carlos Gamarra.
报道中的own goal就是足球术语“乌龙球”，即“球员误把球踢入本方的球门内”。从语言学的角度说，英语“own goal”(自进本方球门的球)与粤语的“乌龙”一词发音相近，而粤语的“乌龙”有“搞错”等意思。大约在上个世纪六、七十年代，own goal(乌龙球)由香港记者翻译而来。
也有说法认为，“乌龙”源于广东的一个民间传说：久旱之时，人们祈求青龙降下甘露，以滋润万物，谁知，青龙未至，乌龙现身，反而给人们带来了灾难。后来，“乌龙”引用到足球赛场上，指本方球员误打误撞，将球弄入自家大门，不仅不得分，反而失分。举个例子：
Tom headed the ball into his own goal.(汤姆把球顶进了自己的球门。)
