【影视实例】《超人新冒险》
LOIS: It's not like we're a team or anything. Do you want a ride?
CLARK: I'll walk. Maybe the fresh air will help.

JAMES WILSON: Amber was home.
GREG HOUSE: I told her to find you. Have you pick me up.

Lincoln: We're going to vegas.

JOEY: Phoebe here with the cab yet?
CHANDLER: Yeah, she, she brought the invisible cab...hop in.

【地道口语】Hit the road.
【影视实例】《绝望主妇》
Betty: If there was ever a time to be neighborly, this is it.
Matthew: We’re idiots for staying here. I mean we should have hit the road as soon as they fou nd Monroe’s b ody.

Asking for a Raise
At the radio station where I worked, the manager called me into his office to preview a new sound-effects package we were con sidering purchasing. He closed the door so we wouldn't bother p eople in the outer office.
After listening to a few routine sound effects, we started playing around with low moans, maniacal screams, hysterical laughter, p leading and gunshots. When I finally opened the door and passe d the manager's secretary, she looked up and inquired, "Asking f or a raise again?"
要求加薪
我在一家电台工作。经理把我叫进他的办公室,让我预试一下我们准备购买的一套新的音响效果设备。他关上门,以免打扰外面办公室的人。听了几个常规的音响效果后,我们开始试听低声的呻吟,狂乱的尖叫,歇斯底里的大笑,哀求逺和枪声。最后我开门出去,从经理秘书旁边经过时,她抬起头问道:“又要求加薪了?"
