Blow away the cobwebs 打起精神
    2018-06-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Where did you go yesterday afternoon? I called at your dormitory but your roommate said you went out.

B: After sitting for hours studying for the final exams, I went out and had a long walk along the beach to blow away the cobwebs.

Note: A cobweb is a fine net of threads made by a spider, often found in rooms or buildings that have not been used for a long time. This idiom means to “banish a state of lethargy, enliven or refresh oneself, especially after one has been indoors for too long.” Verbs such as “brush away,” “clear away” and “dust away” are sometimes used instead of “blow away.” For example: We need a game to blow away the cobwebs before the Germany match.
