Hit the road 表示出发旅行,日常对话中也可以表示“我该走了”。它常用于开始一段旅程,尤其是自驾,也可以用于离开聚会或下班。这个习语偏口语,IELTS Speaking 谈旅行可以用;作文中可写 set off 或 leave。
什么情境适合说 hit the road?
写一句英语,检查习语是否适合当前情境,以及哪里需要修改。
本次检查比平时稍久,完成后反馈会自动显示在这里。
hit the road + at/before + time; let's hit the road; I'd better hit the road
- If we hit the road before seven, we'll reach the lake by lunchtime.
- It's getting late and I have work tomorrow, so I'd better hit the road.
- After a quick coffee at the petrol station, we hit the road again.
修改原因
修改前We hit on the road at six to avoid the traffic.
修改后We hit the road at six to avoid the traffic.
因为有 on the road 这个说法,容易觉得这里也需要 on。但这个习语中,hit 直接接 the road,不加介词。Hit on 本身还有别的意思,例如想到主意 hit on an idea,或口语中向某人调情。修改只删掉 on。
Hit the road 指开始离开的时刻,on the road 描述旅途中的时间:We were on the road for ten hours。前者回答几点出发,后者回答在路上花了多久。
动手练习
We've packed the car and filled up the tank, so let's ___ before the traffic gets bad.
