1 k- l) h2 Y/ F- e  r" HL: Take a hike就是叫谁走开，或者是告诉某人不要来打搅我。对吗？

M: That's correct. In fact, you told me there's that one guy who always bothers you in the study hall. You should tell him to take a hike.
' ?4 G% I+ g% A6 E  g  i2 T7 ]6 ^
L: 我知道你在说谁。我在自修室里念书的时候，那个人经老是要来跟我说话。可是他往往很不客气。
, c  G2 R: N: [
M: Why don't you tell him to take a hike?

L: 我不好意思对别人说这种话。 那样很不礼貌，是不是？

M: Sometimes you can use "take a hike" in a joking manner. For instance, when my friend kept teasing me about the way I dressed the other day, I told him to take a hike.
