Hang on 等等
短語 hang on 的直接翻譯是掛在什么東西上面，就像圖中顯示的那樣。更常用的意思是請他人稍等片刻。
今日小常識
Steam locomotives - like the one in the photo above - were first developed in Britain. They burn materials like coal, wood or oil to produce steam that drives the engine. In the early 20th century they were replaced with electric and diesel locomotives, and are rarely found today.
像圖中的那輛蒸汽火車是在英國發(fā)明的。利用煤炭，木材或石油燃燒產(chǎn)生蒸汽來發(fā)動引擎。在20世紀初，這些蒸汽火車就被電動或柴油火車代替了，目前僅有極少數(shù)蒸汽火車還能運行。
例句
Can you hang on for five minutes? I'd like to come with you but I need to make a phone call first.
Hang on a minute – don't leave without trying some chocolate cake!
Hang on! Look over there, isn't that Joe in the yellow T-shirt and straw hat?
請注意
英語中我們有時會告訴別人 to hang in there. 這是一個口語化表達意思是在困難時期堅持下去。
Even though you hate your job, just hang in there for a couple more months, it will look great on your CV!
I know you can't stand your mother-in-law but just hang in there, the evening will be over soon.
