妙語佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. Let's hit it
這一句就相當(dāng)于漢語中的"走吧"，意思是"let's go, or let's do it"。Hit
是一個(gè)老美很喜歡用的詞，表示"開始去做某事"。例如搖滾樂團(tuán)的主唱常會(huì)看看吉他手， 鍵盤手， 貝斯手準(zhǔn)備好了沒， 如果大家都準(zhǔn)備好了的話，
他就會(huì)大喊一聲："Let's hit it."
2. Lay off
這里的意思是"解雇"，例如：When they lost the contract, they had to lay off a hundred
workers.
這個(gè)表達(dá)法最初用來指"暫時(shí)性的解雇"，在經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條的時(shí)期，公司會(huì)暫時(shí)性地解雇一些員工，等情況好轉(zhuǎn)之后再聘用回來。但90年代后隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)規(guī)模的縮小，這個(gè)片語轉(zhuǎn)指"永久性的解雇"。
3. Work out
Work out 在這里指"suitable and go smoothly, prove effective or successful"，例如：I
wonder if their marriage will work out.
4. Be at someone's feet
這個(gè)片語也寫作sit at someone's feet，意思是"Be enchanted or fascinated by
someone"，當(dāng)用來指被女性的魅力折服時(shí)，有點(diǎn)像漢語中的"拜倒在……的石榴裙下"，例如： Dozens of boys are at her feet.
Curtis: A girl like you can get hurt out there if
you ain't got somebody protecting you. Now, I'm here to do that for you, baby.
But you got to believe me. You got to trust in me. I ain't gonna disappoint you.
