  今天Larry(LL)到Li Hua(LH)的宿舍去串門,Li Hua正在為期末論文和考試做準備,壓力很大。

 

我們要學兩個常用語:hang in there和stressed out。

 

  LL: Li Hua, you look exhausted. Is everything OK?

 

  LH: 哎喲,Larry,我得在星期五以前趕出兩篇論文,星期五還有一門課要大考,你說我能不累嗎?I AM exhausted!

 

 

  LL: Hang in there, Li Hua! After Friday it will be all over, and then you can relax.

  LH: Hang in there? 那是什麼意思呀?

 

  LL: Hang in there. Hang in there just means "to keep enduring" or "to persist through a difficult situation."

  LH: 噢,hang in there的意思就是,在困難的情況下再忍一忍,或者堅持下去。Hang in there - Hmm……這個說法很有意思。不過hang這個詞本意不是“懸挂”嗎?

 

  LL: That's right, but "hang in there" can also mean "to stay the same" or "to not give up".

  LH: 噢,我明白了,hang in there就是要"堅持下去,不要放棄"的意思。
