Xbfeng

李华是在纽约上大学的中国学生。现在她正在和Michael这个美国学生谈有关她学习方面的问题。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语：to take a hike 和 to blow off。

, l( l0 Q5 s, W8 WL: Michael，我真烦死了，我们那个经济学教授非要我们分成小组来完成一个项目，可小组里一个同学嘛一声不啃，另一个我说什么他都反对。
# v/ Q6 \9 m' E
1 m. T$ u7 K& ^; S) I2 u: ]M: If I were you, I would have told him to take a hike.
2 ]: w8 @5 a) D4 M0 r" N" \
, G$ s4 E7 m( |2 w3 E  @. XL: 你要对他说什么？ Take a hike? 是什么意思啊？
9 e# O  ^0 D6 `, k4 F9 U
M: Take a hike is to tell someone to leave, or to tell someone to leave you alone.
: G- F) y# X- N  U% W0 _& j
7 R+ K; u2 ^- V8 O9 B4 }- b6 dL: Take a hike就是叫谁走开，或者是告诉某人不要来打搅我。对吗？

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.
; |# M$ G; j: X7 T1 a: G& P
- X. |8 C# G2 J7 T- a2 qL: 我知道你在说谁。我在自修室里念书的时候，那个人经老是要来跟我说话。可是他往往很不客气。
/ H- L* l( A) A$ Q  f& T; G
M: Why don't you tell him to take a hike?

  s+ H; j9 U( V$ NL: 我不好意思对别人说这种话。 那样很不礼貌，是不是？
. h3 ]' o7 Y7 w) a; \
& Z+ J) B& q9 u1 Q6 U7 DM: 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.

/ `4 r2 c8 O4 j  EL: 我那天是听见你那朋友在笑话你穿的衣服，可是，当时你说take a hike，我不知道是什么意思。现在想起来，你好象是用开玩笑的口气说的。

M: Li Hua, give me an example. I want to see if you know how to use it.
! Z' r) ~# Z7 u8 {
  d$ b4 H! ?+ n* iL: 哼，你要考我！ Michael, 你经常跟我开玩笑，说我老买衣服，下次你再要这样，我就要对你说：Take a hike.

1 ?2 \( ]1 M: R8 {  WM: Yes, Li Hua, I suppose you could.

( z$ A- M4 g) g$ ?* [, k: f% X$ M
) [' _: E% `* V  kM: 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.
# c3 M4 {: |; D3 a( i. U& ?
% {1 j' A- b) Y) o9 n( s6 }7 f$ a9 UL: 原来说好去看电影，到最后一分钟打电话给你说要和女朋友出去玩。Michael，你刚才说了两遍blew me off ? 是不是取消原定约会的意思？
- @0 s$ M) |5 T7 N9 [
' Y1 p9 y! s2 D' |# ?1 e9 c% {M: Yes, to blow off means to break off plans you had with someone.

L: 也就是说你和Bob约好去看电影，可是他为了跟女朋友玩而把你给甩了。
9 J$ D, ^1 R! S/ n) u
$ B2 [7 k  \8 J" }0 TM: You're right.

7 y2 H2 s) O  Z$ E0 t- E- JL: To blow off 还能用在什么场合呢？

3 I  j. f& W6 l) @; kM: 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.
6 K& t' _, H, h
L: 噢，to blow off 还可以指某人突然对你很冷淡。
. c  a* f, G3 D3 Q% O6 O+ L' }; i
& X- W/ B3 M0 v5 w: R1 ^4 tM: 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.
' U; @+ p% C1 `- D$ d
L: Nancy上个周末在聚会上看见你好象不认识你？这不可能，她不是跟你很好的吗？

' }& v; J: e. A9 V: FM: 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。我不是告诉你我不想参加那经济学的小组吗？可是，要是我blow it off，我这门课就会不及格。

. ?- U% @  O0 Z' D* U/ m# JM: Yeah, there are some things in life you just shouldn't blow off.

! r& K% _" o; D3 _8 GL: 唉，生活中有些事是非得做的，就象和你一起吃午饭一样。
