foot it的意思与用法

foot it 为口语惯用语,其意为“步行”,相当于 walk,也就是 not travel by bus, etc 的意思。如:

He’ll have to foot it. 他将只好步行去。

The last train has gone. We’ll have to foot it. 最后一班车已经开了,我们得走回去了。

He walked in and I hotfooted it out the back door. 他走了进来,而我从后门溜了出去。

英语中还有一个类似习语,就是hotfoot it,也主要用于口语,其意为walk or run hurriedly and eagerly,可译为“急走”“急跑”。如:

a group of actors hot-footing it for the bar. 一群急匆匆赶往酒吧的演员

I hotfooted it out of there as soon as possible. 我急忙离开了那里。
