L：Michael，你答应跟我一起来参加聚会，我得谢谢你呀！你知道吗，我不太习惯在这种场合和那些不认识的人交谈。嗨，Michael，那不是你的朋友Steve吗？我听说，只要有party他一定参加。

M: Yeah, he's the hit of all these parties.

L：他是什么？Hit，Hit不是打人吗？

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，英文可真难学。一个词在这里是这个意思，在那里又变了意思。你说的hit是指大家都很喜欢的人。那hit用做这个意思的时候能指东西吗？

M: Yeah, things can also be called a hit. For instance, you can say "that song is a hit with teenagers".

L：对了，有的歌曲非常热门，这也能称为hit。你刚才说：“That song is a hit with teeangers”， 意思是：“青少年特别喜欢的一首歌。” 这么说，“年轻人喜欢的一首歌”就是……

M: That song is a hit with young people.

L：一个受欢迎的电视节目也能说是hit吗？

M: Yes, you can! A hit TV program.

L：Michael，我听说好多女孩儿都很喜欢你！

M: No, that's not true!

L：我认识的女孩都说你很帅！我想她们那么喜欢你，你恐怕还不知道自己是a hit with girls！

M: Oh, stop it, Li Hua! You're embarrassing me.

L：哟，你还会不好意思呐！得了，去拿点东西吃吧，我饿了。

L：Michael，我们来了有两个小时了吧！我倒是认识了几个很有意思的人。

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：对，这儿的人都挺好。怎么啦，你累了，想走了？我知道，你还没有准备好明天的考试。其实，我也有点累了。我们随时都可以走。

M: Okay, let's roll!

L：什么？Let's roll？滚回去啊？

M: Oh no, "let's roll" here means "let's leave!"

L：To roll也能表示要离开？

M: Yes, if you're doing one thing, you can say "to roll" when you want to start something new.

L：等等，让我看看我是不是懂你的意思了。要是你在做一件事，过了一会儿，你不想继续做下去，而是想做别的事了，这时你就可以说to roll。

M: That's correct.

L：怪不得上次开舞会的时候，我们班上的那个高个子George对他的女朋友说：Let's roll！后来我听说他们去看电影了。当时我还听不懂let's roll是什么意思。

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，刚才跟我说话的那个人告诉我，一会儿有一位名歌手会来唱歌。Michael，等他唱完一首歌再走，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!
