Hello there!
Where did today's expression come from? Well, imagine a child who has recently moved and is the newest resident on his city block ...
- The new kid on the block is the newest member of a group.
- the new kid on the block は、あるグループの一番新しいメンバー、という意味です。
- (co-workers)
a: Who's the new kid on the block?
b: You mean the young man at the copier? His name's Dan. He just started working here yesterday. - (advice to someone starting their first job soon)
You'll be the new kid on the block, so do your best to make a good impression. - (more advice)
It's never easy being the new kid on the block, but just watch and listen closely and you'll do fine. - There's been a lot of buzz about Wall Street's newest kid on the block, Berlitz Securities, a start-up discount brokerage firm for the long-term investor.
We'd like to welcome the new kids on OUR block - the many new subscribers who've recently joined the WordMaster family. We look forward to showing you around the neighborhood!
