I really need to hit the road.(不了。我快迟到了, 得上路了) “running late” 是快迟到了的意思。 “Hit the road” 的“hit”有「去」的意思。好比某人每周去健身房三次, 你就可以说 “He hits the gym three times a week.”。 “I really need to hit the road.” 还可以用说成”I really need to get going.”。 6.

Sleepy head. 我以为你才刚睡醒。爱睡虫。漫画里的人睡觉,不是都画”Z,Z,Z…”来表示吗? 这里的 “catch some Zs” 就是这样来的。”I have tocatch some Zs.”也可以说”I have to take a nap.”或“I need to snooze.”。

15. eat 使困扰; 使不开心 A. What’s eating you? You’ve been so quiet all morning. 什么事让你不开心呢? 你整个早上都不说话。 B: I bombed in my final exam. 我的期末考砸了!“What’s eating you?”是个很常听到的俚语。当你觉得个人好象为某事所困扰, 以致整个人不大对劲, 就可以用这句话来问他,到底发生什么事了。“bomb” 是个很有意思的字, 因为可以表 示「完全的失败」, 也可以表示「作得很好」。要看当时的情形决定。 16. jazz (something) up 让(一件事物)变得有趣些 A: What do you think of this? 你觉得这怎么样? B: It’s kind of dead. Maybe you want to add more graphics to jazz it up.有点闷。也许你可以加点图让它变得生动有趣些。“jazz (something) up”是使一件原本可能有点沉闷的事变得有趣些。好比有人在一个冗长的会议里作些说些笑话之类的事, 企图让大家从昏迷中醒来, 就可以说”He tried to jazz the meeting up.” 17.

My hand are tied.” (我很忙, 你能接一下吗?” 。 18. love handles 游泳圈、中广、胖的腰围 A: You’d better lose those love handles fast. I’m tired of having so much to hold on to. 你快把你的肥肚子减掉。我对老是有这么多(肥肉)在那里让我可以抓着觉得很烦。 B: I think I look fine, my dear. 亲爱的,我觉得我看起来很好啊! 上面的对话可能是一些太太会对发福的先生所讲的,这太太也毒了点吧?
