妙語佳句，活學活用
1. Let's hit it
這一句就相當于漢語中的"走吧"，意思是"let's go, or let's do it"。Hit 是一個老美很喜歡用的詞，表示"開始去做某事"。例如搖滾樂團的主唱常會看看吉他手， 鍵盤手， 貝斯手準備好了沒， 如果大家都準備好了的話， 他就會大喊一聲："Let's hit it."
2. Lay off
這里的意思是"解雇"，例如：When they lost the contract, they had to lay off a hundred workers.
這個表達法最初用來指"暫時性的解雇"，在經濟蕭條的時期，公司會暫時性地解雇一些員工，等情況好轉之后再聘用回來。但90年代后隨著經濟規模的縮小，這個片語轉指"永久性的解雇"。
3. Work out
Work out 在這里指"suitable and go smoothly, prove effective or successful"，例如：I wonder if their marriage will work out.
4. Be at someone's feet
這個片語也寫作sit at someone's feet，意思是"Be enchanted or fascinated by someone"，當用來指被女性的魅力折服時，有點像漢語中的"拜倒在……的石榴裙下"，例如： Dozens of boys are at her feet.
Curtis: A girl like you can get hurt out there if you ain't got somebody protecting you. Now, I'm here to do that for you, baby. But you got to believe me. You got to trust in me. I ain't gonna disappoint you.
