臨近考試前,學生們都常會聽到「hit the books」,但是它的意思可不是擊打書本,一起來看看究竟是什麼意思?
Literally, hit the booksmeans to physically hit, punch or slap your reading books. However, this is a commonly used expression among students, especially American college students who have a lot of studying to do. It simply means 「to study,」 and is a way of telling your friends that you’re going to study.
按照字面上理解,hit the books 意思是身體上的打,擊打你的書本。但是這在學生中是一個很普通的表達方式,尤其是美國大學生,他們很多的學習任務,它的意思就是「學習」,是告訴你的朋友你要學習的一種方式。
It could be for a final exam, a midterm test or even an English exam.
可能是期末考試,期中考試,甚至是英語考試。
例句
「Sorry ,but I can't watch the game with you tonight, I have to hit the books. I have a huge exam next week!」
「對不起,今晚不能和你一起去看比賽了,我得去看書了,下周我有一個大考試!」
