今日要讲的俚语:hit the spot
Meaning:
If something hits the spot, it is exactly what is wanted or needed; If food hits the spot, it tastes good and makes you feel satisfied.
意为“使人满意,正合要求, 恰到好处”,原意是射中靶心,射中者对自己的射击技术非常满意。现在表示食物或饮品正好满足了某种需要,“到达了某个点”。在口语中,某样东西能 hit the spot,一定是让你感觉很痛快,很过瘾。
Example:
1. My mother is very good at cooking. Her dishes always hit the spot.
我妈妈厨艺很精湛,她做的菜很和我胃口。
