妙语佳句，活学活用
1. Let's hit it
这一句就相当于汉语中的"走吧"，意思是"let's go, or let's do it"。Hit
是一个老美很喜欢用的词，表示"开始去做某事"。例如摇滚乐团的主唱常会看看吉他手， 键盘手， 贝斯手准备好了没， 如果大家都准备好了的话，
他就会大喊一声："Let's hit it."
2. Lay off
这里的意思是"解雇"，例如：When they lost the contract, they had to lay off a hundred
workers.
这个表达法最初用来指"暂时性的解雇"，在经济萧条的时期，公司会暂时性地解雇一些员工，等情况好转之后再聘用回来。但90年代后随着经济规模的缩小，这个片语转指"永久性的解雇"。
3. Work out
Work out 在这里指"suitable and go smoothly, prove effective or successful"，例如：I
wonder if their marriage will work out.
4. Be at someone's feet
这个片语也写作sit at someone's feet，意思是"Be enchanted or fascinated by
someone"，当用来指被女性的魅力折服时，有点像汉语中的"拜倒在……的石榴裙下"，例如： Dozens of boys are at her feet.
Curtis: A girl like you can get hurt out there if
you ain't got somebody protecting you. Now, I'm here to do that for you, baby.
But you got to believe me. You got to trust in me. I ain't gonna disappoint you.
