<p>美国习惯用语-第70讲:<span word="hang">hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span></p><p><span word="to">to</span> <span word="keep">keep</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="under">under</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span> </p><p>要是你头上根本没有戴帽子，而有人对你说：<span word="Hang">Hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>，<span word="hang">hang</span> <span word="on">on</span>就是抓住的意思，所以<span word="Hang">Hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>从字面上解释就是：抓住你的帽子。可是，你既没有戴帽子，为什么人家要叫你：抓住你的帽子呢？实际上，<span word="hang">hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>是一个俗语，不能按它的字面来解释。<span word="Hang">Hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>这个俗语的真实意思就是：有特别惊人的消息，你要准备好，不要因为过于惊奇而让帽子都从头上掉了下来。下面这个例子是一个女子在对她的朋友说话： </p><p>例句-1: "<span word="Hang">Hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>--<span word="you">you</span> <span word="won">won</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="believe">believe</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="night">night</span> <span word="Bill">Bill</span> <span word="asked">asked</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="marry">marry</span> <span word="him">him</span>!" </p><p>她说：“告诉你一件特大消息，你肯定不会相信。可是，昨天晚上比尔向我求婚啦！” </p><p>恋爱、成亲当然是件喜事。可是，对那些已经结了婚的人来说，喜从何来呢？他们也有各式各样的喜事。美国人都很向往到夏威夷的檀香山去，那里四季温暖，景色迷人，当地人又是以对人友好著称。所以，下面这个例子里说话的人当然就很高兴了： </p><p>例句-2: "<span word="Hi">Hi</span>, <span word="honey">honey</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="tell">tell</span> <span word="you">you</span>! <span word="Now">Now</span> <span word="hang">hang</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>--<span word="the">the</span> <span word="boss">boss</span> <span word="says">says</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="wants">wants</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="charge">charge</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="office">office</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Honolulu">Honolulu</span>. <span word="How">How</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="nice">nice</span> <span word="surprise">surprise</span>!" </p><p>这个人对他的太太说：“亲爱的，我要告诉你一个消息。你得小心听着：我的老板说，他要我负责管理檀香山新开办的分公司。怎么样，这个出人意料的消息真不错吧！” </p>
