題目句子：
When Curtis turned forty, he decided he needed to live life _______, so he quit his job as a dentist and decided to tour Europe by motorcycle.
句意是：
「Curtis 在四十歲那年決定要________地過生活，所以他辭掉了牙醫的工作，決定騎摩托車遊歐洲。」
? 很明顯，Curtis 想要更刺激、更冒險、更奔放的生活。
? 選項解析：
(A) a short fuse ❌
✘ 這是形容一個人脾氣暴躁、容易爆炸
→ 跟生活態度無關，語意錯誤
(B) in the fast lane ✅
✔ 慣用語：live life in the fast lane
✔ 意思是：過著充滿刺激、快速、冒險或高壓的生活
✔ 完美符合句意中「辭職+環歐機車旅行」的行為
(C) to the moon ❌
✘ 通常用於「喜歡你到月球去」或「股價飆升」等比喻，與人生態度無關
(D) in a hurry ❌
✘ 只是單純表示「匆忙」，不代表一種「大膽活出自己」的生活方式
→ 太字面化，無法描述「環歐」這種戲劇性人生轉變
✅ 正確答案是：
(B) in the fast lane
? 延伸用法：
-
He enjoys living life in the fast lane — fast cars, travel, and no responsibilities.
-
After retiring, she switched from the slow lane to the fast lane.
正確答案是：(B) in the fast lane
✅ 各選項解析：
-
(A) a short fuse：形容脾氣暴躁、容易生氣的人，與本句語意不符 ❌
例：He has a short fuse and gets angry easily. -
(B) in the fast lane：活得精彩刺激、過著快速又充滿冒險的生活 ✔
-
常用來形容選擇拋開穩定、平凡的生活，追求刺激或冒險。
-
例：After quitting his job, he started living life in the fast lane.
-
-
(C) to the moon：沒有這樣的片語結構 ❌
-
若是 “love someone to the moon and back”，是「非常愛」，但這裡不符合。
-
-
(D) in a hurry：匆忙地，但不代表轉變人生方式，語意不夠完整 ❌
? 句意解析：
When Curtis turned forty, he decided he needed to live life in the fast lane, so he quit his job as a dentist and decided to tour Europe by motorcycle.
?「Curtis 四十歲時決定要過得更精彩刺激，所以辭去了牙醫的工作，騎機車環歐。」
