无论是去面试，还是第一次约会，我们总希望能在各种场合给别人“留个好印象”。

 

“印象”是指某人或某事给你的感觉或看法（a feeling or an opinion that you get about somebody/something, or that somebody/something gives you），“留个好印象”可以翻译为“put best foot forward”，这个英文习语可以表示“To try to act as an ideal¹ version² of oneself, typically to try to impress others”。

 

例句：

 

如果你想要得到这份工作的话，你真的需要在面试中留个好印象。

You really need to put your best foot forward in the interview if you want to get this job.

 

每当我和别人第一次见面时，我都尽量留个好印象。

I try to put my best foot forward whenever I meet someone for the first time.
