大家好,欢迎来到 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目,我是佳莹。
Neil
… and me, Neil. What are you doing?
Jiaying
I’m just listening to the latest song by the ‘Parrots with Banjos’.
Neil
Wow – it must be really good – you’re really nodding your head!
Jiaying
Yes – it’s amazing – it really hits different.
Neil
I’m sorry – what? You got hit by a parrot with a banjo? I would agree – that does hit differently.
Jiaying
不是的,我们用表达 “hits different” 来形容 “某件事情对你有特殊的吸引力,深深地触动了你,动人心弦”。
Neil
Ah… I get you. So, you really like the song because it hits different?
Jiaying
Exactly! You need to check it out while I listen to these examples.
Examples
His new art exhibition really hits different. There’s something so special about the way he paints.
What Debora says always hits different. She is so wise.
That new novel hits different. It deals with some serious issues and I found it really interesting.

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我们正在介绍表达 “hits different” 的用法。如果我们说某样事物 “hits different”,意思就是它 “格外地触动了你”。
Neil
Yes! So you can use it to talk about your favourite thing – a song or film for example.
Jiaying
你也可以在使用表达 “hits different” 之后,继续说明为什么这个事物格外地触动了你,也许是因为它改变了你的心情。比如:That love song was amazing – it really hits different – it makes me feel a bit sentimental.
Neil
And sometimes we can use it to be a bit negative – but we show that through the tone of our voice.
Jiaying
So, did you like that song I was listening to?
Neil
Honestly, no. It’s really weird – certainly hits different. It doesn’t sound like a professional band at all!
Jiaying
That’s because it’s not. Parrots with banjos isn’t the name of a band – it really is a flock of parrots that found some banjos and made some music.
Neil
Wow. I stand corrected – that is pretty amazing.
Jiaying
Yes – it hits different! Bye, Neil.
Neil
Bye.
