大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目，我是菲菲。

And I’m Neil. Have you ever tried to avoid doing something because it looks unappealing, risky or even dangerous? Well, here is a phrase you can use to describe your actions – it’s ‘run for the hills’.
Feifei
Run for the hills. 這個表達的字面意思是 “往山裡跑，逃往山裡”。
Neil
Don’t take it literally – of course, this phrase is metaphorical – but the meaning is connected to avoiding a situation by a big distance. If you tell someone to run for the hills, you are warning them to keep away from the situation.
Feifei
Run for the hills. “Run for the hills” 的意思是 “由於不願意做一件很無趣、需要冒險的，甚至是危險的事情而躲得遠遠的，溜之大吉”。動詞 “run” 暗示 “急忙、立馬逃避一個危險或窘境”。
Neil
Yes, we’re saying quickly avoid the situation, but it also means you are unwilling to do something. It’s what I did when our boss said he was looking for a volunteer to do some extra filing – I ran for the hills!
Feifei
I did the same. And I ran for the hills when Julia suggested having lunch together – she’s so boring!
Neil
Oh, yeah. A good example, Feifei – and here are some more.
Examples
When my friend suggested investing in his own company, I ran for the hills.
When our relationship became toxic, I ran for the hills!
Marco asked me to babysit for him. I ran for the hills!

你正在收聽的是 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。上面我們介紹瞭表達 “run for the hills” 的含義和用法。我們用 “run for the hills” 來表示 “迅速逃離危險或因不願意做某件事情而躲得遠遠的，逃之夭夭”。
Neil
It can be used when talking about a serious event like a natural disaster when you are warning people to evacuate, go somewhere safe and literally run for the hills. But in everyday use, it’s informal and sometimes humorous.
Feifei
Like running for the hills to avoid having lunch with Julia! And I think we should run for the hills now, Neil.
Neil
Why’s that?
Feifei
I can see the boss coming, and no doubt he’ll want one of us to do that extra filing.
Neil
Oh, yeah. Let’s run. Bye.
Feifei
Bye.
