1. I'm on the right track

【词组】On the right track

在理解这句话的意思之前，我们要先看一下 track 这个词。通常情况下，track 指的是“路径”的意思，等同于 path。

如：The dog followed the fox's tracks into the woods.  
那只狗沿着狐狸的足迹跑进了树林。

在英文当中我们有这样的表达，be on the right path[pɑ:θ]在正确的道路上/已经有了正确的选择。on the right track 也是相同的意思。歌词当中的 I'm on the right track. 指的就是“我的道路是正确的”。

譬如：Has the party been taken over by extremists?  
该党是否已被极端分子控制？
