李華是在紐約上大學(xué)的中國(guó)學(xué)生?，F(xiàn)在她正在和Michael這個(gè)美國(guó)學(xué)生談?dòng)嘘P(guān)她學(xué)習(xí)方面的問(wèn)題。今天Michael 會(huì)教李華兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：to take a hike 和 to blow off。

L: Michael，我真煩死了，我們那個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)教授非要我們分成小組來(lái)完成一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，可小組里一個(gè)同學(xué)嘛一聲不啃，另一個(gè)我說(shuō)什么他都反對(duì)。

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

L: 你要對(duì)他說(shuō)什么？ Take a hike? 是什么意思?。?/span>

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

L: Take a hike就是叫誰(shuí)走開(kāi)，或者是告訴某人不要來(lái)打攪我。對(duì)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: 我知道你在說(shuō)誰(shuí)。我在自修室里念書(shū)的時(shí)候，那個(gè)人經(jīng)老是要來(lái)跟 我說(shuō)話?？墒撬懿豢蜌狻?/span>

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

L: 我不好意思對(duì)別人說(shuō)這種話。 那樣很不禮貌，是不是？

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: 我那天是聽(tīng)見(jiàn)你那朋友在笑話你穿的衣服，可是，當(dāng)時(shí)你說(shuō)take a hike，我不知道是什么意思?，F(xiàn)在想起來(lái)，你好象是用開(kāi)玩笑的口氣說(shuō)的。

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

L: 哼，你要考我！ Michael, 你經(jīng)常跟我開(kāi)玩笑，說(shuō)我老買(mǎi)衣服，下次你再要這樣，我就要對(duì)你說(shuō)：Take a hike.

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

L: Michael, 你昨晚上不是說(shuō)好要跟Bob去看電影嗎？你怎么一個(gè)晚上都呆在家里呢？

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: 原來(lái)說(shuō)好去看電影，到最后一分鐘打電話給你說(shuō)要和女朋友出去 玩。Michael，你剛才說(shuō)了兩遍blew me off ? 是不是取消原定約會(huì)的意思？

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

L: 也就是說(shuō)你和Bob約好去看電影，可是他為了跟女朋友玩而把你給甩了。

M: You're right.

L: To blow off 還能用在什么場(chǎng)合呢？

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

L: 噢，to blow off 還可以指某人突然對(duì)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(gè)周末在聚會(huì)上看見(jiàn)你好象不認(rèn)識(shí)你？這不可能，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: 我不想做什么事，也可以用to blow off。我不是告訴你我不想?yún)⒓幽墙?jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的小組嗎？可是，要是我blow it off，我這門(mén)課就會(huì)不及格。

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

L: 唉，生活中有些事是非得做的，就象和你一起吃午飯一樣。

M: Oh, Li Hua, take a hike.

在今天的對(duì)話中，Michael教了李華兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)，一個(gè)是：take a hike，意思是叫某人走開(kāi)；另一個(gè)是to blow off，這是指取消約會(huì)，或者是不做自己不想做的事。這次的[流行美語(yǔ)]就到此結(jié)束，我們下次再會(huì)。
