Dear Henry,

I learned that you are feeling sorry and upset because of losing the basketball game…

This is just one example of expressions that can’t be understood by taking them apart（分开）word by word. Expressions like this are called idioms（习语）. They are an important part of a culture’s language. Languages and cultures are closely connected. One example of an idiom in the Chinese language is “dui niu tan qin”, or “to play the lute（拨弦乐器）to a cow.”【2】这意味着某人在说话或写作时不考虑其听众或读者。

Let’s get back to idioms that begin with the word “hit”【3】 There are many of them in English, but it’s not that easy for you to understand.

One common idiom you may hear in English is “hit the road”. It means to leave or to go. You can say, “Hey, I need to hit the road. Can we talk about this another time?” Or simply, “It’s time to hit the road.” When you are tired and you want to go to bed, you can say, “I need to hit the hay（干草）.” It means you want to go to sleep.【4】 That’s because a bed was often a big bag with hay inside in the past.

【5】 习语使你的语言生动而有趣。 Let’s hit the road to learn some and try to use them.

A: Hey, Joy. This is Steve, calling from the Tianmenshan Mountain of Zhangjiajie!

B: Hi, Steve. You are already in Zhangjiajie?! Great to hear you! So 【1】?

A: Oh, amazing! You know, Zhangjiajie is famous for its steep（陡峭的）mountains, which are quite different from those in our country.

B: Really? 【2】?

A: No. Instead of walking, we took the cable car（缆车）.

B: That was also an exciting experience, I suppose. 【3】?

A: For five days. My dad will have an important meeting next Monday. Work comes first.

B: What a pity! Given more time, you could visit more places of interest. How about the food there?

A: 【4】! As a real foodie（吃货）, I enjoy all kinds of traditional food here. And so do my family.

B: You do?

A: Yes. And tomorrow we are going to visit Huanglongdong. It is said to be one of the most beautiful karst caves（溶洞）in the world and it has interested so many travellers.

B: Fantastic! Could you please tell me more about it when you are back?

A: 【5】.I’llseeyouinafewdays. Talktoyousoon.

B: Thank you. Have a nice journey!
