当你和别人越好做一件事情,但是后来又想取消,该怎么说呢?Scratch 这个词可以帮你的忙。
Scratch 在词典里的解释是"用指甲或是爪子去'刮';涂鸦、随手乱画"。在口语上,scratch something 便衍生为"取消"或"删除"原来的计划。再说得简单一些,scratch这个用法跟我们常讲的 forget 这个词十分类似。例如本来约好明天要去看电影,但你临时想取消,这时你可以说,"Let's forget it." 或是换句话说 "Let's scratch the plan."
再说个实际的例子,有一回我跟一个老美约吃饭,我问他:"Will you be available on Saturday or Sunday?" 他回答我"Scratch the Saturday thing. I'll be available only on Sunday evening. (星期六我不行,我只有星期天晚上可以。)" 这句话完全就等于 "Forget about Saturday. I'll be available only on Sunday evening."
