【用hit表示猝不及防

 

有些事情来得突然,让人在毫无准备的状况下,除了傻眼还是傻眼。此时你就可以活用这个

hit 字,来表达事出突然,让人猝不及防的感觉。可能是无预警的天灾。

 

A: The st.mp3 hit before Rick could do anything about it.

     暴风雨来时,瑞克根本措手不及。

B: Yeah, he didn't know what hit him. He was probably killed instantly.

     对啊,他不知道被什么袭击。他八成是当场毙命。

 

也可能是人祸,遭人暗算。

     她带着他所有的钱离开,迪克就这样月复一月地呆坐。

B: It's understandable. It all happened so fast. He didn't know what hit him.

     可以理解。这发生得很突然。他根本不知道是怎么回事。

 

*sit around   坐着发呆,无所事事

 

1) evil (a.) 邪恶的

2) drive在此指钉木桩的动作,stake 就是木桩drive a stake through one's heart木桩穿心原来是对付吸血鬼vampire  的必杀技,在此是因 Elvin 觉得Zina 太过邪恶才这样比喻。
