1. Hit the books
اگر کلمه به کلمه ترجمه کنید این جمله بدین معناست که به طور فیزیکی به کتابها ضربه بزنید. با این وجود، این عبارت یک اصطلاح رایج انگلیسی در میان دانش آموزان است، به ویژه دانش آموزان کالج آمریکایی که باید خیلی درس بخوانند که به معنی “درس خواندن” است و راهی برای اینکه بگویید قصد دارید درس بخوانید.
“! Sorry but I can’t watch the game with you tonight, I have to hit the books. I have a huge exam next week”
“با عرض پوزش، امشب، من نمی توانم بازی را با شما تماشا کنم، باید خیلی درس بخوانم. هفته ی آینده امتحان بزرگی دارم! “

hit the sack
درست همانند اولین اصطلاح، معنای واقعی جمله می تواند ضرب و شتم فیزیکی یک کیسه باشد (یک کیسه بزرگ که معمولا برای حمل کالاهای عمده مانند آرد، برنج و حتی خاک استفاده می شود). اما در واقع hit the sackبه معنای رفتن به رختخواب است. شما می توانید از این جمله استفاده کنید تا به دوستان یا خانواده خود بگویید که واقعا خسته هستید و میخواهید بخوابید. از hit the hay میتوان به جای hit the sack استفاده کرد.
“.It’s time for me to hit the sack, I’m so tired”
“زمان رفتن به رختخواب است، من خیلی خسته ام”.

Origin
In herds when grazing, there is movement towards what seems to be greener pastures. When people maintain gardens outside their house, they want the grass to be as green as possible. But the truth is that when you look from far away, the grass on the other side looks greener. When you go near it, you find out that it was only an illusion. The phrase originated in the 19th century and is considered a modern day saying.

A man who was bored with living in London and desired to move to the country was looking for a house from which he could get to his office in the city easily every day. One day he saw an advertisement for a suitable house in Hampshire which was claimed to be within a stone’s throw of a railway station from which there were frequent trains to London.
He telephoned the house agency and arranged to go down by train the next day and have a look at the house.
The house agent met him at the station and they drove to the house, which was at least a kilometer from the station.
The man who had come to see the house turned to the house agent when they reached it and objected, ‘I should be very interested to meet the man who threw that stone you mentioned in your advertisement!
مردی که از زندگی در لندن خسته شده بود و آرزو داشت که به حومه شهر لندن برود، در جستجوی خانهای بود که هر روز بتواند از آنجا به محل کارش برود. یک روز یک آگهی در مورد خانه مورد دلخواهش در “همشایر” دید که مدعی بود آن منزل در یک قدمی ایستگاهی از راهآهن است که قطارهای زیادی برای لندن دارد.
او به نمایندگی فروش خانه زنگ زد و ترتیبی داد تا روز بعد با قطار به آنجا برود و با او ملاقات کند.
مشاور املاک در ایستگاه او را ملاقات کرد و با ماشین او به خانهای رفتند که حداقل یک کیلومتر از آن ایستگاه فاصله داشت.
وقتی به خانه رسیدند مردی برای دیدن خانه آمده بود. رو به مشاور املاک کرد و معترضانه گفت: من مایلم مردی که آن مسافت ذکر شده در آگهیتان را تعیین کرد، ملاقات کنم.
