Hit the books 是什么意思?为什么 books 必须用复数?

Hit the books 是开始认真学习,常用于考前准备。少一个 s 为什么就像真的在打书?换成 hit the sack,又会变成完全不同的行动。

Hit the books 表示开始认真、用功地学习,通常用于考试前或休息很久之后。这个表达偏美式口语;英式英语谈考前复习时更常说 revise,作文中可用 study hard。

什么情境适合说 hit the books?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

hit the books; hit the books for an exam; time to hit the books

  • My finals start in two weeks, so tonight I really need to hit the books.
  • He hit the books every evening after work and passed his accounting exam in June.

修改原因

修改前I can't come tonight because I have to hit the book.

修改后I can't come tonight because I have to hit the books.

这个习语中的 books 固定用复数。单数 hit the book 更像字面上击打一本书。原句只需在 book 后补上 s。

Cambridge Dictionary

Hit the books 是开始学习,hit the sack 是去睡觉,hit the road 则是出发上路。动词一样,后面的名词决定意思:After three hours of revision, I finally hit the sack。

动手练习

The exam is on Monday and I haven't opened my notes yet, so this weekend I'll ___.

(hit the books / hit the sack)

查看答案

hit the books — 周一就考试,笔记却还没打开,句子要表达周末开始用功,所以选 hit the books。Hit the sack 表示上床睡觉,不是这里要说的复习行动。

写一次即将到来的考试或测验。说明准备什么时候开始,以及要复习什么。

My driving theory test is on 12 October, so from tomorrow I'll hit the books and revise road signs every evening.
