英语俗语：The eleventh hour 最后时刻
The eleventh hour
The eleventh hour意思当然是十一点，换句话说是一昼夜的最后一小时。那么习惯用语the eleventh hour含义是什么呢? 它是“最后时刻”的意思。
例句：I thought I had lost out because I didn't hear from the company after my interview. But at the eleventh hour, when I was packing to go back home, they called and said they wanted to hire me.
起先我以为我已经失去机会了，因为我在面谈之后一直没听到公司方面的回音。但是直到我在整理行装准备回家的最后一刻，他们才打电话来说想要雇用我。
又如：Look, it's the eleventh hour for getting this contract signed! If we don't deliver it to the customer by ten am tomorrow, we lose the whole deal, so we'll work all night if we have to.
看，现在已经到了签订这份合同的最后时刻了。如果我们不能在明天早上十点以前把合同发送给顾客的话，这笔生意就全丢了，所以必要的话我们开夜车也得把合同赶写出来。
YouTheme祝大家：Merry Christmas ！
