【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 storm 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。

A: When she left with all his money, Dirk just *sat around month after month.

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。

3) keep one's cool 保持镇定、冷静
