19. Oh, yes, that's our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.
點睛
get...off意為“(某天)休息”,get off則表示“停止工作”其中off本身含有“停止,中斷”之意,和get, be, take等動詞組成短語時,可表示“不工作,不上學,休息”。如:I was off with the flu yesterday. 我因感染了流感昨天休息了。You look tired; you should take tomorrow off. 你看起來很疲憊,明天應該休息一下。
考點歸納
聽力中,與off相關的短語還有:
badly off意為“生活貧困;運氣不佳”
Her family is badly off. 她的家庭生活貧困。
better off意為“情況好些,生活比較寬裕”
We are better off economically. 我們的經濟狀況好些了。
from the off[俚]意為“從頭開始”
The sitcom is perfect from the off. 這部情景喜劇從一開始就很完美。
off and on意為“斷斷續(xù)續(xù);不時地”
I slept off and on last night. 我昨晚時睡時醒。
