Modern English 洋话连篇[80]

  今天李华和Michael在对话里使用的两个常用语,一个是:to ditch,另一个是:to hit the spot。现在Michael正在图书馆里做功课,李华来找他。

  L:嗨,Michael,功课做得怎么样了?

  M: I can't think. It's too noisy. Let's ditch this place.

  L:你没法动脑筋,因为这儿太闹。你还说什么来啦?Ditch this place,什么意思呀?

  M: Ditch! To ditch means to quickly leave a place you no longer want to be.

  L:噢,to ditch就是你不想再呆在那个地方,想赶快离开。你的意思就是要马上离开图书馆。不对啊,ditch这个字不是可以解释为地上挖的沟吗?你说的ditch是同一个字?

  M: Yes, it is. Same word, same spelling, but a different meaning.

  L:原来是同一个字,同样拼法,但意思不同。噢, Michael,再举个例子给我听,好吗?

  M: If we want to get away from someone you could say, "Let's ditch him," which means to leave someone behind.

  L:你的意思是to ditch不仅可以指地方,还能指人。上次我们跟Mary一起去看电影,看完电影我们俩没跟Mary打招呼就走了,这就可以说:We ditched Mary,对不对?

  M: That's correct.

  L:要是你干活干腻了,不想干了,那该说。。。

  M: To ditch work.

  L:不想去开会。。。

  M: To ditch the meeting. You can also say: to ditch the concert.

  L:我知道,那是不想去音乐会。要是和朋友约好了,可是又不想去了,那该怎么说呀?

  M: To ditch my friend. Hey, can we ditch the library now! I am really tired and could use some coffee.

  L: Ok, ok。让我们离开这图书馆吧。你累了,想喝咖啡。走,去校园外的那个咖啡馆吧。

  L:好,咖啡馆到了。

  M: Yep, here's the coffee shop. Li Hua, what do you want, my treat this time.

  L:你请我啊?那太好了。我要一杯咖啡就行了。

  M: Sounds good. Two coffees please. Here's your coffee, Li Hua.

  L: Thanks!

  M: No problem. Oh, so hot! Be careful. Good coffee, really hits the spot. I feel more awake now.

  L:对,咖啡是不错,你已经觉得清醒点儿啦!我可不信咖啡的作用就那么快!对了,刚才你说: " It really hits the spot? To hit the spot不是击中要害吗?你刚才说的好象不是这个意思。你怎么老是说一些怪里怪气的话。

  M: Hit the spot means to satisfy one's need. I really needed some coffee earlier so it really hit the spot.

  L:原来hit the spot就是满足一个人的需要。你刚才很想喝咖啡,喝了就感到非常过隐,很痛快。Hit the spot是哪三个字组成的?

  M: Hit-the-spot. For example, if you are hungry and go eat you could say, "That food really hit the spot."

  L:中文里也有这个说法。肚子非常饿的时候去吃饭。吃饱了就感到心满意足。洗个热水澡真痛快,那该怎么说?

  M: A hot bath would hit the spot.

  L:吃个汉堡包真过隐,该怎么说?

  M: A burger would hit the spot. Let's go, I'm hungry.

  L:好家伙,喝了咖啡,又肚子饿了,要去吃汉堡包。这回我可不奉陪了,I have to ditch you now.再见了!

  M: Ok. Bye.再见。

  Michael和李华在对话中用了to ditch和to hit the spot. To ditch表示要离开某个人,因为你不想跟他在一起了;或表示要马上离开一个不想再呆的地方。To hit the spot是感到过隐,觉得很痛快。
