【用hit表示“猝不及防”】
有些事情來(lái)得突然，讓人在毫無(wú)準(zhǔn)備的狀況下，除了傻眼還是傻眼。此時(shí)你就可以活用這個(gè)
hit 字，來(lái)表達(dá)事出突然，讓人猝不及防的感覺(jué)?？赡苁菬o(wú)預(yù)警的天災(zāi)。
A: The storm hit before Rick could do anything about it.
暴風(fēng)雨來(lái)時(shí)，瑞克根本措手不及。
B: Yeah, he didn't know what hit him. He was probably killed instantly.
對(duì)啊，他不知道被什么襲擊。他八成是當(dāng)場(chǎng)斃命。
也可能是人禍，遭人暗算。
A: When she left with all his money, Dirk just *sat around month after month.
她帶著他所有的錢離開，迪克就這樣月復(fù)一月地呆坐。
B: It's understandable. It all happened so fast. He didn't know what hit him.
可以理解。這發(fā)生得很突然。他根本不知道是怎么回事。
*sit around 坐著發(fā)呆，無(wú)所事事
1) evil (a.) 邪惡的
2) drive在此指“釘木樁”的動(dòng)作，stake 就是“木樁”。drive a stake through one's heart“木樁穿心”原來(lái)是對(duì)付“吸血鬼”vampire 的必殺技，在此是因 Elvin 覺(jué)得Zina 太過(guò)邪惡才這樣比喻。
3) keep one's cool 保持鎮(zhèn)定、冷靜
