突破英語口語練習：“準備功課”用英語怎么說？

hit the books 
 
Literally, hit the books means to physically hit, punch or slap your reading books. However, this is a commonly used expression among students, especially American college students who have a lot of studying to do. It simply means “to study,” and is a way of telling your friends that you’re going to study.
從字面上看，hit the books的意思是用身體部位擊打或拍打你正在閱讀的書籍。然而，這個短語是一個學生常用的表達，尤其是美國的大學生，他們有很多的學習任務要完成。它的意思簡單來說就是“學習”，是告訴你的朋友你要學習的一種表達。
 
It could be for a final exam, a midterm test or even an English exam.
可能是為了期末考試，期中考試，甚至是英語考試。
 
例：
Sorry but I can’t watch the game with you tonight, I have to hit the books. I have a huge exam next week!
對不起，我今晚不能和你一起看比賽了，我得用功讀書了。下星期我有一個重要的考試。
