In this episode, I am going to teach you an interesting and useful idiom.
在本期节目中，我将教您一个有趣且实用的习语。
And that idiom is "to hit the spot." To hit the spot. That's hit—h-i-t, the, spot—s-p-o-t. Hit the spot.
这个习语就是“to hit the spot”。
What does it mean when we say that something hits the spot? If something hits the spot, that means it gives complete and total satisfaction.
当我们说something hits the spot时，这是什么意思？如果something hits the spot，则意味着它能给您带来完全的满足感。
It makes you feel completely satisfied. It is the perfect thing to make you feel satisfied.
它让您感到完全满意。它是让您感到满意的完美事物。
We usually use this idiom when we are talking about eating or drinking something. But that's not the only time we use it.
我们通常在谈论吃喝某物时使用这个习语。但这不是我们唯一使用它的时候。
If you want to understand why "hit the spot" means "give complete satisfaction," you can think of this situation:
如果你想了解为什么“hit the spot”意味着“给您带来完全的满足感”，你可以想想这种情况：
Imagine that there is a certain place—a certain spot—on your back that itches. It is itching and it is driving you crazy.
想象一下，你的背上有某个地方——某个点——发痒。它很痒，让你发疯。
And you are trying to reach that spot on your back, but you can't quite find it. You can't quite reach it. Where is it? You're not quite sure.
你想够到背上的那个点，但你找不到它。你够不到它。在哪里？你不太确定。
And then, your friend—your very good friend—reaches over and scratches your back.
然后，你的朋友——你非常好的朋友——伸手过来挠你的背。
And your friend scratches your back in exactly the right place, in exactly the right spot. I guess you could say your friend has hit the spot.

Your friend is scratching in exactly the right spot to make you feel good, to make you satisfied, to make your itching go away.
你的朋友抓到了重点，让你感觉良好，让你满意，让你的瘙痒消失。
That's a way that you can understand why this expression has that meaning.

Now, let me give you a more typical situation where you might hear someone use the phrase "hit the spot."
现在，看一个更典型的情况，你可能会听到有人使用短语“hit the spot”。
Imagine that somebody has been working outside in the hot sun all afternoon.
想象一下，有人整个下午都在外面烈日下工作。
And they come inside, and they go to the refrigerator, and they grab a bottle of beer, or a bottle of soda, or a bottle of water. Whatever it is.
他们走进屋里，走到冰箱前，拿了一瓶啤酒、一瓶苏打水或一瓶水。不管是什么。
They grab a cold drink, and they open the bottle, and they drink the drink. And they say, "Ahhh! That hits the spot."
他们拿一杯冷饮，打开瓶子，喝了下去。他们说：“Ahhh! That hits the spot.”
In other words, "That cold drink gave me complete satisfaction. I really needed that. That was the perfect thing for that moment."
换句话说，“那杯冷饮让我完全满足了。我真的需要它。那是那一刻最完美的东西。”
That is "hit the spot," a common and useful idiom that I think you should know.
