　　Words and Their Stories: If a Student's Grades Hit Bottom, It Is Time to Hit the Books

包含hit的短語詞語典故

　　Now, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES - a VOA Special English program about American expressions. I'm Rich Kleinfeldt with some expressions containing the word hit.

　　(MUSIC)

　　Hit is a small word but it has a lot of power. Baseball players hit the ball. Missiles hit an airplane. A car hits a tree.

　　Hit also joins with other words to create many colorful expressions. One is hit the road. It means to travel or to leave a place, as suggested in this song, "Hit the Road."

　　(MUSIC)

　　Another common expression is hit the spot. At first it meant hitting a spot at the center of a target with an arrow. Someone who did so was satisfied with his shooting. Now, hitting the spot usually means that a food or drink is especially satisfying.

　　Many years ago, Pepsi Cola sold its drink with a song that began, "Pepsi Cola hits the spot, twelve full ounces, that's a lot…"

　　Another expression involving hit is hit bottom. Something that has hit bottom can go no lower. If the price of shares of a stock hits bottom that might be the time to buy it. Its value can only go up.

　　A student who tells you his grades have hit bottom is saying he has not done well in school.

　　When a student's grades hit bottom it is time to hit the books. Hit the books is another way to saying it is time to study. A student might have to tell her friends she can not go with them to the movies because she has to hit the books.

　　Not hitting the books could lead to an unpleasant situation for a student. The father or mother may hit the ceiling when they see the low grades. Someone who hits the ceiling, the top of the room, is violently angry. A wife may hit the ceiling because her husband forgot their wedding anniversary.

　　To build something of wood, you usually need a hammer. That is what you use to hit nails into the pieces of wood to hold them together. When you hit the nail on the head, exactly on its top, it goes into the wood perfectly. And when someone says your words or actions hit the nail on the head, he means what you said or did was exactly right.

　　If you are tired after hitting all those nails on the head, then it is time to hit the hay. That expression comes from the days when people slept on beds filled with dried grass or hay. Some people slept on hay in barns where they kept their farm animals.

　　Hitting the hay simply means going to bed. That is a good idea. I think I will hit the hay now.

　　現在是VOA特別英語詞語典故時間。我是Rich Kleinfeldt，現在為您介紹一些含有hit這個單詞的表達方式。

　　hit是一個很小的詞，但是很有威力。棒球選手擊球，導彈襲擊飛機，汽車撞擊大樹。

　　hit還和其他單詞組合在一起，組成豐富的表達方式。其中一個短語是hit the road，意思是開始旅行或者離開某個地方，就像"Hit the Road"這首歌中唱的那樣。

　　另外一個常用短語是hit the spot。這個短語最初的意思是，用箭射中目標的`中心。做到這樣的人對自己的射擊結果很滿意。現在，hit the spot通常意味著一種食物或飲料讓人很滿意。

　　許多年前，百事可樂銷售廣告中有一首歌的開頭是這樣的：“百事可樂非常令人滿意，足有12盎司，……”

　　另外一個包含hit這個詞的短語是hit bottom(觸底)。觸底的事物不可能更低或者更壞了。如果股票的價格觸底，是時候買進了，它的價格只會上漲。

　　如果一個學生告訴你他的分數觸底，這說明他在學校成績不好。

　　如果一個學生的成績觸底，那么，是時候hit the books了。hit the books意思是開始學習。一個學生可能不得不告訴她的朋友，她不能跟他們一起去看電影了，因為她必須學習。

　　不好好學習會導致一個學生不愉快的處境。他的父親或母親看到這么低端分數時可能會hit the ceiling(勃然大怒)。撞到天花板的人非常憤怒。如果丈夫忘記結婚紀念日，妻子可能會勃然大怒。

　　制作木制品時，通常要用到錘子。錘子用來敲擊釘子，將木塊釘在一起。如果你剛好敲到釘子的頭部或頂部，它就可以完好地進入木料。如果有人說你的話語或者行為hit the nail on the head，他的意思是說你說的或做的完全正確。

　　釘完所有的釘子之后，你可能會很疲勞，是時候hit the hay了。hit the hay來源于人們用干草鋪床的時代。當養殖農場動物時，人們通常誰在谷倉中的干草上。

　　hit the hay的意思很簡單，表示睡覺。好主意！我認為我現在也應該睡覺了。
