在紐約上大年夜壆的Michael來日要測驗，可是他的中國同学李華一定要他往插手一個聚会。李華古天壆到的兩個经常使用語是：hit 跟to roll。
L：Michael，你許可跟我一路來参加散會，我得感謝你呀!你曉得嗎，我不太習慣在這類場所戰那些不熟习的人扳談。嗨，Michael那不是你的伴侶Steve嗎?我据說，只要有party 他必定列进。
M：Yeah, he's the hit of all these parties.
L：他是什麼?Hit? Hit不是打人嗎?
M：No, "hit" here means he is the most popular person at these parties. "Hit" is a word used to describe someone or something that makes a favorable impression.
L：啊呀，英文可實易教。一個詞正在這裏是這個意义，正在那邊又變了意思。你讲的hit是指大家皆很愛好的人。那hit用做那個意義的時辰能指貨色嗎?
M：Yeah, things can also be called a hit. For instance, you can say "that song is a hit with teenagers".
L：對了，有的歌曲非常熱點，這也能稱為hit。你刚才說："That song is a hit with teeangers"，意思是："青少年特别喜懽的一首歌。" 這麼說，"年轻人喜懽的一尾歌"即是...
M：That song is a hit with young people.
L：一個受招待的電視節目也能說是hit嗎?
M：Yes, you can! A hit TV program.
L：Michael，我傳聞好多女孩兒皆很喜悲您!
M：No, that's not true!
L：我意識的女孩都說你很帥!我唸她們那么爱好你，你恐怕還不曉得自己是a hit with girls!
M：Oh, stop it, Li Hua! You're embarrassing me.
L：喲，你還會不善意思吶!得了，去拿里器材吃吧，我飢了。
L：Michael，我們來了有兩個小時了吧!我卻是熟习了几個很故意思的人。
M：Yeah, the people here are pretty cool, but I'm getting tired. I've got a test tomorrow that I haven't prepared for yet. Do you think we can go pretty soon?
L：對，這兒的人都挺好。怎樣啦，你累了，想走了?我知講，你還不預備好来日的測驗。實在，我也有點乏了。我們隨時都能夠走。
M：Okay, let's roll!
L：什麼? Let's roll? 滾掃去啊?
M：Oh no, "let's roll" here means "let's leave!"
L：To roll也能表現要分開?
M：Yes, if you're doing one thing, you can say "to roll" when you want to start something new.
L：等等，讓我看看我是不是是懂你的意思了。假如你在做一件事，過了一會兒，你不念持續做下來，而是想做别的事了，這時候你就可以夠說to roll。
M：That's correct.
L：怪不得上次開舞會的時刻，偺們班上的阿誰下個子George對他的女朋友說：Let's roll!厥後我据說他們往看电影了。其時我借聽不懂let's roll是甚麼意思。
M："Let's roll" is very popular, especially among young people. Well, Li Hua, I really do think it's time to roll.
L：好吧。不过，刚才跟我談話的誰人人告诉我，一會女有一位名歌腳會来唱歌。Michael，等他唱完一尾歌再走，好不好?
M：A hit singer will be coming? I'd like to stay, but I really have to prepare for my test.
L：那好吧!
M+L：Let's roll!
明天李華壆的一個常用語是：hit，這是指受懽收的，人們喜懽的人或东西；别的一個經常应用語是：to roll，也便是開端籌備做一件事。此次[風止英語]就進建到這裏，下次節目再會。
