什麼是Hang (6 Phrasal Verbs with HANG: hang on, hang up, hang out…)

1. hang out 出去玩;消磨時間;到外面晃晃

“Hang out” 是超級普遍的英文俚語,在用英語對話中常常會出現 “Where do you hang out?” 還有 “I don’t feel like hanging out tonight” 的句子。”Hang out” 最酷的一點就是可以把它想像為「把自己拿到外面晾一下」,就像衣服可以 “hang it out to dry”,人也可以拿出去透透氣,如果有機會與喜歡的人在一起就更高興了!

另外,“Hangout” 是名詞,也就是會去玩的地方。Google 推出了新功能,就也叫做 “Hangouts”!你有用過嗎?讓影片解釋一下它名字跟「會去玩的地方」有什麼關聯吧:

2. hang up 掛起;掛斷電話;掛上話筒

“Hang up” 的解釋很簡單,如果是把一個東西往上掛就是 “hang it up”。也普遍的代表掛上電話的意思。如果看過老電影中的人講電話,看到固定在牆上笨重的電話與需要兩隻手拿的聽筒與對講器,就很容易了解為什麼掛電話是 “hang up the phone”。

3. hang in there 繼續下去;堅持下去;撐下去

“Hang in there” 是鼓勵做事情時不要放棄的意思。用創意性的視覺去幻想的話,可以想像是在攀岩一樣,目標是上面,如果累的話不能放手,還是要用點力氣,繼續把自己給支撐著。不過當然,你也可以自己放手,像 Olaf 一樣喊出 “Hang in there!” 叫別人繼續撐著:

4. hang on 抓住;等一下

“Hang on” 與 “hold on” 有七分的相似,只是比較不正式。如果是與客戶講話最好說 “Hold on a moment please”,與比較熟的人就可以說 “hang on”。

5. hang on sb.’s every word 非常的注意一個人所講的話

如果你在講話時,有人“hangs on your every word” 就表示他很在意你,所以你說什麼都相信。也有暗示一個人過度的依賴另外一個人的意思,單純的認為他講的話完全是正確的。
