Jessica在北京學漢語，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:瑜珈真不是我強項，要不，咱們還是去打網球吧？上次打網球，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，讓你輸得五體投地！

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

WQ:好啊，快走吧，再不走數學課就要遲到了！

Jessica:數學課啊。。。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.

第一，放我一馬是let someone off the hook；

第二，形容輕而易舉是 hands down；

第三，翹課是play hooky！
