In the running

    有望

    据传泰勒·斯威夫特和汤姆·希德勒斯顿在拍拖，后者有望出演下一任邦德。请看本报周五的报道：

    Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston are reportedly enjoying a secret romance.

    The pop princess, 26, and the actor, 35 — who is believed to be in the running to be the next James Bond — were pictured kissing on a beach near Swift's Rhode Island home Tuesday, in pictures obtained by The Sun, just two weeks after Calvin Harris, 32, announced they had split.

    In the series of snaps the pair are locked in a romantic clinch, while walking along holding hands, with Swift burying her head in his shoulder in one particularly close moment.

    报道中的in the running就是“competing and having a chance to win”，即“参与竞争、有望胜出”，反之则是out of the running。例如：

    Mary's still in the running for the promotion.

    玛丽仍然有可能获得晋升。
