今天李華和Michael在對話里使用的兩個(gè)常用語,一個(gè)是:to ditch,另一個(gè)是:to hit the spot.現(xiàn)在Michael 正在圖書館里做功課,李華來找他。
L: 嗨,Michael, 功課做得怎么樣了?
M: I can't think. It's too noisy. Let's ditch this place.
L: 你沒法動(dòng)腦筋,因?yàn)檫@兒太鬧。你還說什么來啦?Ditch this place,什么意思呀?
M: Ditch! To ditch means to quickly leave a place you no longer want to be.
L: 噢,to ditch 就是你不想再呆在那個(gè)地方,想趕快離開。你的意思就是要馬上離開圖書館。不對啊,ditch 這個(gè)字不是可以解釋為地上挖的溝嗎?你說的 ditch 是同一個(gè)字?
M: Yes, it is. Same word, same spelling, but a different meaning.
L: 原來是同一個(gè)字,同樣拼法,但意思不同。噢, Michael, 再舉個(gè)例子給我聽,好嗎?
M: If we want to get away from someone you could say, "Let's ditch him," which means to leave someone behind.
L: 你的意思是 to ditch 不僅可以指地方,還能指人。 上次我們跟 Mary 一起去看電影,看完電影我們倆沒跟 Mary 打招呼就走了,這就可以說:We ditched Mary,對不對?
M: That's correct.
L: 要是你干活干膩了,不想干了,那該說……
M: To ditch work.
L: 不想去開會(huì)……
M: To ditch the meeting. You can also say: to ditch the concert.
L: 我知道,那是不想去音樂會(huì)。要是和朋友約好了,可是又不想去了,那該怎么說呀?
M: To ditch my friend. Hey, can we ditch the library now! I am really tired and could use some coffee.
L: Ok, ok.讓我們離開這圖書館吧。你累了,想喝咖啡。走,去校園外的那個(gè)咖啡館吧。
L: 好,咖啡館到了。
M: Yep, here's the coffee shop. Li Hua, what do you want, my treat this time.
L: 你請我�。� 那太好了。我要一杯咖啡就行了。
M: Sounds good. Two coffees please. Here's your coffee, Li Hua.
L: Thanks!
M: No problem. Oh, so hot! Be careful. Good coffee, really hits the spot. I feel more awake now.
L: 對,咖啡是不錯(cuò),你已經(jīng)覺得清醒點(diǎn)兒啦!我可不信咖啡的作用就那么快!對了,剛才你說: " It really hits the spot? To hit the spot 不是擊中要害嗎? 你剛才說的好象不是這個(gè)意思。你怎么老是說一些怪里怪氣的話。
M: Hit the spot means to satisfy one's need. I really needed some coffee earlier so it really hit the spot.
L: 原來hit the spot 就是滿足一個(gè)人的需要。你剛才很想喝咖啡,喝了就感到非常過隱,很痛快。Hit the spot 是哪三個(gè)字組成的?
M: Hit-the-spot. For example, if you are hungry and go eat you could say, "That food really hit the spot."
L: 中文里也有這個(gè)說法。肚子非常餓的時(shí)候去吃飯。吃飽了就感到心滿意足。洗個(gè)熱水澡真痛快,那該怎么說?
M: A hot bath would hit the spot.
L: 吃個(gè)漢堡包真過癮,該怎么說?
M: A burger would hit the spot. Let's go, I'm hungry.
L: 好家伙, 喝了咖啡,又肚子餓了, 要去吃漢堡包。這回我可不奉陪了, I have to ditch you now. 再見了!
M: Ok. Bye. 再見。
Michael 和李華在對話中用了to ditch 和 to hit the spot. To ditch表示 要離開某個(gè)人,因?yàn)槟悴幌敫谝黄鹆�;或表示要馬上離開一 個(gè)不想再呆的地方。To hit the spot 是感到過癮,覺得很痛快。
