Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是吴琼要问的是：放我一马。 Jessica: Wuqiong, let's hit the gym tonight! WQ: 哎哟，我上次做瑜珈的时候差点把脖子拉伤!你就放我一马吧!对了，这在美语里该怎么说呢? Jessica: You want me to let you off the hook again? Uh-uh, 我每次叫你，你都推三挡四的，这次绝对不行! WQ: 哦，放我一马就是let me off the hook. Jessica, could you please let me off the hook? just this once? I'm begging you! Jessica: That's really cute, but NO, you HAVE to come with me. You're not getting off the hook this time. WQ: 瑜珈真不是我强项，要不，咱们还是去打网球吧?上次打网球，我轻而易举就打败你了!I beat you... Jessica: Yeah, you beat me hands down! I do recall! WQ: 刚想问你轻而易举怎么说，原来是hands down! Yes, I beat you hands down last time! 我把你打败，让你输得五体投地! Jessica: (hahaha...) Fine, we'll find a sport that we both like. WQ: 好啊，快走吧，再不走数学课就要迟到了! Jessica: 数学课啊……All of a sudden I'm not feeling well. |
