blitz out

1. 解詞釋義

Blitz是“閃電戰”的意思，在該習語中，用來比喻“人飲酒的速度很快，以至於肝臟分泌的酶無法及時解除酒精的毒性而使人酣醉”。因此，blitz out就是用來形容人喝醉酒的樣子。

2. 拓展範例

第三， 詞海拾貝

第四， 語法點撥

She must have known something Jack has done.

【要點解析1】此句中運用了情態動詞的虛擬語氣，謂語是must have known something Jack has done。它是情態動詞must have done這個結構，用來表示非常肯定地對過去的事情的猜測。

【要點解析2】此句中是一個含有定語從句的複合句。 主句是she must have known something，從句是Jack has done，從句省略了引導詞that。由於被修飾的詞是不定代詞something，如果要用引導詞的話，只能用that，不能用which。

備註：對話中，還有一個相同的句子出現的語法現象是相同的，這個句子是：She must have been bits and pieces.
