hit-on(hit-and-run可不止是打了就跑)
昨天一早儿外教Tony一瘸一拐地走进了办公室,看着大家惊诧的注视目光,Tony连忙摆着手说:"It's no big deal,just a minor injury in a hit-and-run accident." 这时会计小刘关切地问道:"都这样了还没事儿呢~你这脚面都肿啦!你说你也真是的,碰上那帮打完就跑的主儿,还不报警?"
看到这儿聪明的你也许就看出问题了吧~对喽,关键就是这个"hit-and-run accident"在这里可不能翻译成打完就跑哈,虽然 hit-and-run 的确有打了就跑的含义,但一般是指战争中的突袭游击战术,而用在生活中的话,大多是指肇事逃逸的交通事故。所以刚才Tony的意思是"没什么大不了的,只是在肇事逃逸事故中受了点儿轻伤。" 呵呵,原来他是被一辆送快递的电动三轮给轧了脚面了......
