我想很多人和我有同樣的經驗
小時候聽這首Michael Jackson的名曲還不懂英文,也不知道它是兩個字的連音
就跟著亂唱,有一度還以為是「比利」
大了以後知道是這兩個字,但它是什麼意思呢?
(按此連結見原始歌詞: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaeljackson/beatit.html )
當有人跟你說 Beat it. 的時候可不是要你去打什麼東西
而是叫你快點走開、快滾的意思,是不太客氣的說法
這首歌的背景是1980年代的美國
當時有很多年輕人會成群結黨、到處鬧事
甚至把鬧事當作英雄的象徵
這首歌就是寫給這些年輕人的
叫他們在即將要惹麻煩上身時「beat it
趕快走開,遠離是非之地
今天又聽到這首歌
雖然是John Mayer的版本,還是一首好歌
也不禁懷念起Michael Jackson
我們來造些句:

The old lady told the teenagers to beat it.
(老太太叫那些青少年走開。)
He was being unreasonable, so I told him to beat it.
(他當時很不講道理,所以我叫他走開。)
“Beat it,” she said with an angry voice.
(「走開,」她用憤怒的聲音說道。)
