Skates是“溜冰鞋”,这个短语是什么意思呢?请看对话:
A: Does my dress go along with this pair of stilettos?
B: You look great, sweetie.
A: How about my hair and this handbag?
B: Come on! The charity function will begin in half an hour. Get your skates on, we have to leave in 10 minutes.
A: Take it easy. We will be there on time.
Note: Anyone going skating knows that one can move really fast on the ice. So when someone tells you to get your skates on, he or she wants you to move fast and hurry up. Similarly, people would say “get going, buck up, get moving, or get cracking.”
