修改原因
修改前The exams are on the nose, and I haven't started revising.
修改后The exams are just around the corner, and I haven't started revising.
On the nose 不表示即将到来，而表示恰好、准确，例如 at six on the nose。描述事件很快到来，可以用 just around the corner；修改没有改变句子其他部分。
谈地点时，这个短语表示就在附近：The bus stop is just around the corner from our flat。主语能帮助判断意思：考试或夏天是时间临近，商店或公交站则是位置很近。
动手练习
Our wedding is next Saturday, so it's ___, and we still haven't chosen the music.
查看答案
just around the corner — 婚礼就在下星期六，时间已经很近，所以选 just around the corner。On the nose 表示准确，如 at six on the nose，不能表达这里的临近。
写一件即将到来的重要事情。给出日期，并说明还有什么没准备好。
