●off the ˈhookif you leave or take the telephone off the hook, you take the receiver (= the part that you pick up) off the place where it usually rests, so that nobody can call you （为防止电话打进来而使听筒）不挂上◆So many people were calling me that in the end I got tired of it and left the phone off the hook.
那么多人给我打电话，我实在受不了了，干脆把听筒拿了下来。 |
