李华是在纽约上大学的中国学生。现在她正在和Michael这个美国学生谈有关她学习方面的问题。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语:to take a hike 和 to blow off。

2 U# i/ K; s" Z
1 a: N6 q. j+ J7 l, dL: 原来说好去看电影,到最后一分钟打电话给你说要和女朋友出去玩。Michael,你刚才说了两遍blew me off ? 是不是取消原定约会的意思?9 |4 f5 a- }0 X& s8 G

  J' x. o4 A- r; cL: 我不想做什么事,也可以用to blow off。我不是告诉你我不想参加那经济学的小组吗?可是,要是我blow it off,我这门课就会不及格。4 r$ H0 u! n' z" m- T# U
