若是遇到什么复杂情况，长辈们常常嘱咐我们要“见机行事”，“抓住了机会”就好办事，要是错过了机会，就只有慨叹“痛失良机”了。
抓住机会：jump at the chance
Jump at the chance 的意思就是“（迅速地）抓住机会”，跳起来抓，是够迅速的。
比如：When the lead singer became ill, Sheila jumped at the chance toreplace her.
这个片语还有个很形象的变体，就是jump at the bait，看见有好处就跳上去了。
比如：They offered a large reward, hoping that someone would jump at thebait.
另外，jump at 也可以表示“抓住……”，通常是有好处的事情。
例如：When Dad said he'd help pay for my vacation, I jumped at the offer.
