(where/when) the rubber meets the road:
1. at the point in a process where there are challenges, issues, or problems.
2. when something is about to begin, get serious, or be put to test.
解释:
这个短语通常和where, when合用,意思是:
1. 当实际问题或挑战出现的时候
2. 当某件事要付诸于行动的时候
造句:
1. We need to try our best to help our customers when the rubber meets the road for them. (当我们的客户遇到实际困难的时候, 我们应当尽力去帮助他们)
2. The plan sounds great, but we cannot be sure if it works unless when the rubber meets the road. (这个计划听起来很好,但是要到付诸于行动后才知道它是否可行)
