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.

L: 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。

L: 我不好意思对别人说这种话。 那样很不礼貌，是不是？

M: 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.

! F. d% b! }( n7 p/ Z4 xL: 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.

L: 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.

" v# e$ p/ x% P" RM: Yes, Li Hua, I suppose you could.

L: Michael, 你昨晚上不是说好要跟Bob去看电影吗？你怎么一个晚上都呆在家里呢？

- a2 |2 S. h7 G! ]: MM: 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.
+ O) I: z1 F9 N' \( ]
L: 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？

M: Yes, to blow off means to break off plans you had with someone.
% |& ]( u% T' w! \

L: To blow off 还能用在什么场合呢？

/ N) P6 b$ |, vM: 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.

L: 噢，to blow off 还可以指某人突然对你很冷淡。

+ E  A& G+ v8 l% L* q0 U3 JM: 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.

# L4 }* T: w7 T! j1 a) t9 sL: 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？

M: 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.
7 q- K" f9 I2 d
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。

  t4 S; H( R( V  M4 m- X7 [7 v; MM: Yeah, there are some things in life you just shouldn't blow off.

L: 唉，生活中有些事是非得做的，就象和你一起吃午饭一样。
