+ C" X+ g- Z# Y  N3 M. U# oL: 你要对他说什么？ Take a hike? 是什么意思啊？

+ X5 b9 o1 m# E$ d" R3 h- i3 c2 wM: Take a hike is to tell someone to leave, or to tell someone to leave you alone.

: x( G% \2 m+ E6 X3 q. ]L: Take a hike就是叫谁走开，或者是告诉某人不要来打搅我。对吗？
7 Z- ^9 z0 Q0 a2 m: I
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.

, N+ q4 \! a9 l) E/ _" DL: 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。

2 D  J: ]/ ]$ z2 Y% qM: Why don't you tell him to take a hike?

L: 我不好意思对别人说这种话。 那样很不礼貌，是不是？

6 \* a7 D* t# EM: 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.

( S# S- ?6 X6 {7 F* Y) o1 GL: 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: 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.

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.

+ t) P* M9 o+ UL: 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。
