Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Noun Phrase 102. The noun phrase today is eager-beaver.

Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.  If you say that someone is an eager

程度の副詞

beaver. You mean that that person is very enthusiastic and is willing to work very

hard , especially to please others. Okay.  Let's continue. It tends to be used more

with younger people or someone who may be a newcomer at a company. Yeah. So

that's why they're new at the company so they're more likely to be an eager

beaver at that time. They have to you know prove themselves. Let's continue.  The

origin probably comes from the idea that the animal,  beaver is a very hard worker.

This can often be seen by all the effort they put into building dams,  shelters,  etc.

Okay. All right. Good. So let's just look at a few examples to cover this idea.

Example number one. That new employee is a real eager beaver. He often volunteers

to do much more work. Much more than his assigned work. Okay. So he's definitely an

eager beaver, He  tries very hard,  maybe  he's trying to impress the boss or maybe you know he's

just enthusiastic right now. Number two,  Many new members of that organization

start out as eager beavers,  but after a while their enthusiasm starts to fade.

Yeah. That could happen anywhere. But it could be you know,  maybe it's an

organization like Greenpeace or something like that. All right. Let's look

at number three.  Many eager beaver lawyers become

ambulance chasers. Yeah. A long time ago I did the noun phrase on an ambulance

chaser. That's the type of lawyer that's really trying hard to find clients. You

know they see like somebody get into ...you know,  they get slightly get hurt,  but not

really hurt and they'll run over and hand them their

card. You know,  oh you know if you need a lawyer you know we might be able to sue

them and so they're they're out there actually trying to find their clients

physically. Okay. Anyway,  I hope you got it. I  hope it  is clear. I hope it was informative. Thank
