foot it的意思与用法

foot it 为口语惯用语，其意为“步行”，相当于 walk，也就是 not travel by bus, etc 的意思。如：

He’ll have to foot it. 他将只好步行去。

The last train has gone. We’ll have to foot it. 最后一班车已经开了，我们得走回去了。

He walked in and I hotfooted it out the back door. 他走了进来，而我从后门溜了出去。

英语中还有一个类似习语，就是hotfoot it，也主要用于口语，其意为walk or run hurriedly and eagerly，可译为“急走”“急跑”。如：

a group of actors hot-footing it for the bar. 一群急匆匆赶往酒吧的演员

I hotfooted it out of there as soon as possible. 我急忙离开了那里。
