地道美語怎麼說 第31課:放我一馬
Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎麼說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是吳瓊要問的是：放我一馬。
Jessica:Wuqiong, let's hit the gym tonight!
WQ:哎喲，我上次做瑜珈的時候差點把脖子拉傷！你就放我一馬吧！對了，這在美語裏該怎麼說呢？
Jessica:You want me to let you off the hook again? Uh-uh, 我每次叫你，你都推三擋四的，這次絕對不行！
WQ:哦，放我一馬就是 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:瑜珈真不是我強項，要不，咱們還是去打網球吧？上次打網球，我輕而易舉就打敗你了！I beat you......
Jessica:Yeah, you beat me hands down! I do recall!
WQ:剛想問你輕而易舉怎麼說，原來是 hands down! Yes, I beat you hands down last time! 我把你打敗，讓你輸得五體投地！
Jessica:(hahaha...) Fine, we'll find a sport that we both like.
WQ:好啊，快走吧，再不走數學課就要遲到了！
Jessica:數學課啊。。。All of a sudden I'm not feeling well.
WQ:啊? 怎麼突然不舒服? 你是不是又想翹課 pe....
Jessica:Wuqiong, 翹課英語是 play hooky，H-O-O-K-Y, hooky, play hooky, 翹課！
WQ:Well, you shouldn't play hooky! Let's go.
Jessica:Do I really have to go? It's so boring.....
WQ:Yes, you do, and I am not letting you off the hook!
Jessica:Okay, let's see what you've learned today.
第一，放我一馬是let someone off the hook；
第二，形容輕而易舉是 hands down；
第三，翹課是play hooky！
