今天的俚语是break a leg，但实际是什么意思呢？今日份的English in a Minute告诉你答案！

break a leg 来自英语挑战者 00:00 01:01

Welcome to English in a Minute, where we teach you all about idioms in American English.

You probably have heard someone say: Break a leg.

Dont't worry. She isn't going to break someone's leg. This is an expression that means good luck! Let's listen to a conversation to find out.

（conversation）

A: I'm so nervous. Tonight is the first night of the play.

B: Is it? Well, go out there and break a leg!

（end）

This phrase began as a way to wish actors good luck. Theater people said that if they wished each other something bad, good might happen.

So when you hear 'break a leg,' it's really means 'do well.' Also, it can mean to work really hard at something.

And that's English in a Minute.
