修改原因
修改前After six hours of revision I hit into the wall and went to bed.
修改后After six hours of revision I hit the wall and went to bed.
Hit 在这里直接接宾语,不需要介词:hit the wall,不是 hit into the wall。想到撞上真正的墙时,容易套入 into,但这个习语不能这样添加。
Hit a wall 使用 a 时,更常表示项目遇到障碍、无法推进:Our research hit a wall when the funding stopped。作文中,描述疲劳可以用 run out of energy,描述项目停滞可以用 stall。
动手练习
