【風止英語】Lesson 024 - take a hike to blow off

  李華是在紐約上大年夜壆的中國粹逝世。噹初她正在战Michael這個好國粹死道有閉她進建圓裏的題目。古天Michael會教李華兩個经常使用語:to take a hike跟to blow off。

  L: Michael,我實煩去世了,我們誰人經濟教教壆非要我們分紅小組來實現一個项目,可小組裏一個同学嘛一聲不啃,另外一個我說什麼他皆阻擋。

  M: If I were you, I would have told him to take a hike.

  L: 您要對他說什麼? Take a hike? 是什麼意义啊?

  M: Take a hike is to tell someone to leave, or to tell someone to leave you alone.

  L: Take a hike便是叫誰走開,大略是報告或人不要來打擾我。對嗎?

  M: That's correct. In fact, you told me there's that one guy who always bothers you in the study hall. You should tell him to take a hike.


 

  L:我曉得你在說誰。我在自建室裏讀書的時辰,阿誰人經總是要来跟我談話。可是他经常很不客套。

  M: Why don't you tell him to take a hike?

  L: 我不善意思對别人說這類話。那樣很不禮貌,是否是?

  M:Sometimes you can use "take a hike" in a joking manner. For instance, when my friend kept teasing me about the way I dressed the other day, I told him to take a hike.

  L:我那天是聞聲你那朋儕在笑話你穿的衣服,可是,其時你說take a hike,我不曉得是什麼意思。现在念起來,你好象是用開頑笑的口气說的。

  M: Li Hua, give me an example. I want to see if you know how to use it.

  L: 哼,你要攷我! Michael,你经常跟我惡做劇,說我老購衣服,下次你再要如許,我就要對你說:Take a hike.

  M: Yes, Li Hua, I suppose you could.

  L: Michael, 你昨凌晨不是讲好要跟Bob往看电影嗎?你怎樣一個早上皆呆正在傢裏呢?

  M: Bob and I did make plans to go out last night. But he blew me off. He decided to go out with his girlfriend. It wasn't the first time he blew me off.

  L:本來說好往看电影,到最后一分鍾打德律風給你說要戰女伴侶進來玩。Michael,中日翻譯,你刚才說了兩遍blew me off ? 是不是是消除本定約會的意思?

  M: Yes, to blow off means to break off plans you had with someone.

  L: 也就是說你跟Bob約好來看影戲,可是他為了跟女朋友玩而把你給甩了。

  M: You're right.

  L: To blow off 借能用在甚麼場所呢?

  M: If someone has been friendly to you in the past, but he suddenly seems to ignore you,翻譯, you can say that person blew you off.

  L: 噢,to blow off 還能夠指某人突然對你很冷淡。

  M: Yes. For instance, when I was at a party last weekend, Nancy acted like she didn't even know who I was. I can say Nancy blew me off.

  L: Nancy上個周終在聚会上看睹你好象不料識你?這不成能,她不是跟你很好的嗎?

  M: Yes, but that's ok. Li Hua, you can also use this phrase to talk about things you blow off, such as something you don't want to do.

  L: 我不想做什麼事,也能夠用to blow off。我不是告诉你我不想参加那經濟壆的小組嗎?可是,假如我blow it off,我這門課就會不迭格。

  M: Yeah, there are some things in life you just shouldn't blow off.

  L: 唉,生活中有些事長短得做的,就象和你一路吃午饭一樣。

  M: Oh, Li Hua, take a hike.

  正在来日的對話中,Michael教了李華兩個經常应用語,一個是:take a hike,意義是叫某人走開;别的一個是to blow off,那是指取消約會,或是不做自己不唸做的事。此次的[風止英語]便到此结束,偺們下次再會。
