Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是吳瓊要問的是：放我一馬。

Jessica: Wuqiong, let's hit the gym tonight!

WQ: 哎喲，我上次做瑜珈的時候差點(diǎn)把脖子拉傷！你就放我一馬吧！對了，這在美語里該怎么說呢？

Jessica: You want me to let you off the hook again? Uh-uh, 我每次叫你，你都推三擋四的，這次絕對不行！

WQ: 哦，放我一馬就是let me off the hook. Jessica, could you please let me off the hook? just this once? I'm begging you!

Jessica: That's really cute, but NO, you HAVE to come with me. You're not getting off the hook this time.

WQ: 瑜珈真不是我強(qiáng)項(xiàng)，要不，咱們還是去打網(wǎng)球吧？上次打網(wǎng)球，我輕而易舉就打敗你了！I beat you...

Jessica: Yeah, you beat me hands down! I do recall!

WQ: 剛想問你輕而易舉怎么說，原來是hands down! Yes, I beat you hands down last time! 我把你打敗，讓你輸?shù)梦弩w投地！

Jessica: (hahaha...) Fine, we'll find a sport that we both like.

WQ: 好啊，快走吧，再不走數(shù)學(xué)課就要遲到了！

Jessica: 數(shù)學(xué)課啊……All of a sudden I'm not feeling well.

WQ: 啊? 怎么突然不舒服? 你是不是又想翹課 escape...escape...

Jessica: Wuqiong, 翹課英語是 play hooky，H-O-O-K-Y, hooky, play hooky, 翹課！

WQ: Well, you shouldn't play hooky! Let's go.

Jessica: Do I really have to go? It's so boring.....

WQ: Yes, you do, and I am not letting you off the hook!

Jessica: Okay, let's see what you've learned today.
