wood nail

Can you get this nail out of the wood?

你能把这枚钉子从木头里拔出来吗？

I dar'd not to drive a nail, or chop a stick of wood now, for fear the noise I should make should be heard; much less would I fire a gun, for the same reason;

我连一个钉子都不敢钉，一块木头都不敢劈，生怕声音被别人听见；同样，我更不敢开枪了。

Expectations were high that the 64-year-old best-selling author of critically acclaimed novels like 'Norwegian Wood' and '1Q84' would finally nail the Nobel after having his name floated as a likely candidate for the prestigious award in recent years.

此前人们普遍预期这位64岁的畅销作家将最终捧得诺贝尔奖。村上春树的《挪威的森林》（Norwegian Wood）、《1Q84》等小说作品都深受好评，近年人们不断地认为他是可能的获奖人选。

One analogy is of a nail being driven into wood.

就好比把一根钉钉进木头去一样.

When you hit the nail on the head, exactly on its top, it goes into the wood perfectly.

如果你刚好敲到钉子的头部或顶部，它就可以完好地进入木料。
