enlightened俚語精解

hit 雖然是『打擊』的意思,但 hit the books 卻是指『唸書』。這個俚語其實翻成『K 書』會更為傳神,因為 K 在中文口語中就是『打』。


小雄已經高三了,可是他還是整天沉迷線上遊戲不讀書,媽媽怕他上不了好的學校,不禁憂心忡忡,每天都在碎碎念:
You'd better
hit the books, or else you won't be able to get admitted to a good university.
= You'd better
study, or else you won't be able to get admitted to a good university.
(你最好要 K 書,要不然你就上不了好大學了。)

hit 一字常常用在英文俚語中,如 hit the hay(去睡覺)。


小雄快被瑪莉的嘮叨逼瘋了,於是就大叫:

= Stop nagging! I'm going to
hit the sack.
= Stop nagging! I'm going to
go to bed.
(不要再嘮叨了!我要去睡了。)
*nag  vi. 嘮叨
