第2课：ditch;tohitthespot-凯发k8官网

今天李华和michael在对话里使用的两个常用语，一个是：to ¹，另一个是：to hit the ²。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 ³ 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 ⁴ 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，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 ⁵ 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。
