措手不及

小李:你听说了吗?公司要裁员!(Xiǎo Lǐ: Nǐ tīng shuōle ma? Gōngsī yào cáiyuán!)

Have you heard? The company’s about to go through lay-offs.

小张:真的?我完全措手不及!(Xiǎo Zhāng: Zhēn de? Wǒ wánquán cuòshǒubùjí! )

Really? I was totally unaware!

小李:是啊,昨天还正常开会,今天就来了这个消息。(Shì a, zuótiān hái zhèngcháng kāihuì, jīntiān jiù láile zhège xiāoxī.) Yes, just yesterday we had our meeting as usual, but today got the news.

小张:我们得赶紧准备,找新的工作吧。(Wǒmen déi gǎnjǐn zhǔnbèi, zhǎo xīn de gōngzuò ba.) We better get ready and find a new job!

小李:对,不能坐等。我会更新我的简历!(Duì, bùnéng zuòděng. Wǒ huì gēngxīn wǒ de jiǎnlì!) Yes, we can’t sit around and wait. I’m going to update my resume!

Example Sentences:

1. 老师突然说要考试。同学们都觉得措手不及。 The teacher suddenly announced a pop quiz. All the students were caught off guard。

2. 他的问题让我(有一点儿)措手不及。His question caught me (a little) off guard.

3. 听说飓风就要来了,我得准备一些应急用品,免得措手不及。I heard a hurricane is coming through. I need to get a few emergency supplies ready so I’m not caught off guard.
