B：Not bad. Where did you go after school?

A：Some of my classmates asked me to hang out to the shopping mall with them，So I. . .

B：Tom，you’d better not always kill time with them there. Come home earlier and spend more time on your study.

Hit the books

Mother：Why are you still awake?

Lucy：I can’t sleep.

Mother：Is anything on your mind?

Lucy：Yeah. I will have a big test tomorrow.

Mother：Did you study?

Lucy：I’ve been hitting the books for weeks in library，but I am not ready now.

What does “hit the books” mean? If we hit the books，we start to study hard seriously（認真地）with determination（決心）.We usually hit the books before a test or when we are trying to finish a school course. For example，if you want to get an A in your test，you should start hitting the books right now.

“hit the books”是什么意思？假如我們“hit the books”，我們決心開始認真努力地學習。我們通常“啃書”在考前，或當我們設法完成學校功課時。例如：在考試中，你想得到“A”等，現在你就開始“攻書”或“啃書”了。
