李華和Michael在對(duì)話里使用的兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)，一個(gè)是：to ditch，另一個(gè)是：to hit the spot?，F(xiàn)在Michael 正在圖書館里做功課，李華來(lái)找他。
L: 嗨，Michael， 功課做得怎么樣了？
M: I cant think. Its too noisy. Lets ditch this place.
L: 你沒法動(dòng)腦筋，因?yàn)檫@兒太鬧。你還說(shuō)什么來(lái)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個(gè)地方，想趕快離開。你的意思就是要馬上離開圖書館。不對(duì)啊，ditch 這個(gè)字不是可以解釋為地上挖的溝嗎？你說(shuō)的 ditch 是同一個(gè)字？
M: Yes, it is. Same word, same spelling, but a different meaning.
L: 原來(lái)是同一個(gè)字，同樣拼法，但意思不同。噢, Michael, 再舉個(gè)例子給我聽，好嗎？
M: If we want to get away from someone you could say, Lets ditch him, which means to leave someone behind.
L: 你的意思是 to ditch 不僅可以指地方，還能指人。 上次我們跟 Mary 一起去看電影，看完電影我們倆沒跟 Mary 打招呼就走了，這就可以說(shuō)：We ditched Mary，對(duì)不對(duì)？
M: Thats correct.
L: 要是你干活干膩了，不想干了，那該說(shuō)。。。
M: To ditch work.
L: 不想去開會(huì)。。。
M: To ditch the meeting. You can also say: to ditch the concert.
L: 我知道，那是不想去音樂會(huì)。要是和朋友約好了，可是又不想去了，那該怎么說(shuō)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。讓我們離開這圖書館吧。你累了，想喝咖啡。走，去校園外的那個(gè)咖啡館吧。
L: 好，咖啡館到了。
M: Yep, heres the coffee shop. Li Hua, what do you want, my treat this time.
L: 你請(qǐng)我啊？ 那太好了。我要一杯咖啡就行了。
M: Sounds good. Two coffees please. Heres 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: 對(duì)，咖啡是不錯(cuò)，你已經(jīng)覺得清醒點(diǎn)兒啦！我可不信咖啡的作用就那么快！對(duì)了，剛才你說(shuō): It really hits the spot? To hit the spot 不是擊中要害嗎？ 你剛才說(shuō)的好象不是這個(gè)意思。你怎么老是說(shuō)一些怪里怪氣的話。
M: Hit the spot means to satisfy ones need. I really needed some coffee earlier so it really hit the spot.
L: 原來(lái)hit the spot 就是滿足一個(gè)人的需要。你剛才很想喝咖啡，喝了就感到非常過(guò)隱，很痛快。Hit the spot 是哪三個(gè)字組成的？
M: Hit-the-spot. For example, if you are hungry and go eat you could say, That food really hit the spot.
L: 中文里也有這個(gè)說(shuō)法。肚子非常餓的時(shí)候去吃飯。吃飽了就感到心滿意足。洗個(gè)熱水澡真痛快，那該怎么說(shuō)？
M: A hot bath would hit the spot.
L: 吃個(gè)漢堡包真過(guò)隱，該怎么說(shuō)？
M: A burger would hit the spot. Lets go, Im hungry.
L: 好家伙， 喝了咖啡，又肚子餓了， 要去吃漢堡包。這回我可不奉陪了， I have to ditch you now. 再見了！
M: Ok. Bye. 再見。
Michael 和李華在對(duì)話中用了to ditch 和 to hit the spot. To ditch表示 要離開某個(gè)人，因?yàn)槟悴幌敫谝黄鹆?；或表示要馬上離開一 個(gè)不想再呆的地方。To hit the spot 是感到過(guò)隱，覺得很痛快。這次[流 行美語(yǔ)]就播講到這里。下次節(jié)目再見。
