Asleep at the switch

这个短语中的switch指的是“铁路的道岔”，asleep at the switch并不是指睡在铁路的道岔上哦，而是指“玩忽职守、错失良机”。这个短语是怎么来的呢？
美国在经历了南北战争之后经济得到了快速发展。在当时所有的资本主义国家中，美国的铁路发展得最快。不过当时的铁路全部是由人工控制的，搬道岔可说是一项十分重要的工作。向各方向运行的火车全凭道岔工的操作才能驶入规定的轨道，一旦由于道岔工的疏忽、忘记或者搬错了道岔，便会发生火车出轨的严重事故。所以，asleep at the switch就是一件很严重的事情了。
来看一个例子：
Don't fall asleep at the switch when the job is offered to you.
当你有机会得到这一工作时，千万不要掉以轻心。
一次途中，遇到一位铁路工作者坐火车，和她闲聊。了解到以前的铁路需要人工搬运换道，现在都用机械了。就不存在人为的玩忽职守了。
