介绍： 【句子】Well, I got a lunch hour to kill.   【Desperate Housewives S2E10】
【发音】/wel/  /aɪ/ /gɒt/ /ɡɑːt/ /ə/ /lʌntʃ/ /aʊə(r)/ /tʊ/ /kɪl/
【发音技巧】got a连读+闪音；
【翻译】反正我午休也没事干，正好消磨消磨时间。
【适用场合】
今天我们来学习一个短语，叫做kill time；可以理解成“消磨时间、打发时间”这个意思；对应的英文解释是：to engage in an activity, usually a rather aimless or idle one, with the goal of making time seem to pass more quickly or less slowly；
像今天视频里面把这个表达，变成have time/ a couple of hours, etc. to kill 也是可以的，意思一样，可以理解成：to do something to help pass the time while you are waiting for something；
eg: -- What did you do at the airport when your plane was late?
-- We killed time by playing cards and doing crosswords.
——飞机晚点时，你们在机场干什么了？
——我们靠打牌和玩填字游戏来打发时间。
 
eg: I had two hours to kill before the train left, so I went to see a movie.
火车开走前我有两小时要打发，所以去看了场电影。
 
eg: I'm going to walk down to the bookstore to kill time before my flight. Do you want anything?
我打算在起飞前去书店逛逛消磨一下时间。你要带点什么吗？
 
eg: There was nothing to do, so I sat around killing time until dinner was ready.
反正没事干，我就坐着消磨时间，等着开饭。
