1. cut class 逃課
cut是「剪去」的意思，把一堂課剪掉，其實就是我們常說的「逃課」的意思。ditch / skip English class，或是play hooky from English class，都是「蹺英文課」的.意思。如果要「蹺班」，最常用的表達方式就是skip work。不過，不管是上班還是上課，都是少蹺爲妙啦！
A: I didn't see you in math class today.
我沒看到你去上今天的數學課。
B: No, man. A bunch of us cut class and went to a cafe.
對啊，老兄。我們一大羣人逃課，去一家咖啡廳。
2. take it out on someone 將某人當成出氣筒
take it out on someone就是「將怨氣發泄在某人身上」，這裏的it是指「怨氣、憤怒的感覺」。下次如果遇到有人心情不好，把你當成出氣筒，你就可以說：Don't take it out on me!「別把我當出氣筒！」
A:I know you're upset about not getting the promotion, but don't take it out on me.
我知道你對沒有升職感到很難過，但是別把這件事發泄在我身上。
B: You're right. I'm sorry.
你說得對。對不起。
