hatch /hætʃ/
●ˌdown the ˈhatch (informal) said before you drink alcohol 干杯◆He raised his glass, said ‘Down the hatch’, and then drank it all at once!
他举起酒杯，说了句“干杯”，就一口喝干了！ ORIGIN This is thought to come from ships, where goods go down through the hatch (= an opening in the floor) to be stored for the journey, as if they are being swallowed. 据说这个习语源于货轮，船上的货物通过舱口被放入船舱存放，这好似一个吞咽过程。 |
