When you are dres sed to the nines it means that you are wearing some seriously fashionable clothes.

        　　Grab a bite to eat随便找点吃的

        　　Early evening is a great time to pay a visit to the local cinema and catch up on the latest big movie. Informally, we say that we are going to catch a flick when we are going to watch a movie. For example, your friends may say, “Let’s go and catch a flick at the cinema tonight!”

        　　By now, everyone is probably ready to let loose and have some fun! This is what we call painting the town red, having a really great night out with friends! So, when your friends ask “Do you want to go and paint the town red?” they’re not expecting you to bring paint and paintbrushes!
        　　現在，大家應準備好去輕鬆一下盡興狂歡了!這就是「painting the town red」的意思──與朋友渡過美好的晚上! 所以當朋友問你：「Do you want to go and paint the town red?」，他們並不是要你帶油漆和油漆掃呢!
        　　Go bar-hopping 挨家挨户泡吧
        　　Part of your big night out might include stopping off at a few bars for some relaxing drinks and to meet up with friends. By bar-hopping we mean that you go to one bar for a while, and then hop, or move on, to several more.

        　　Shoot some pool 打台球
        　　While bar-hopping you might spot a pool table and feel like having a quick game or two. Don’t worry, it’s not as dangerous as it sounds - shooting some pool simply means to play pool!
        　　当bar-hopping时你可能会看到一个桌球台并想要快速的来上一两盘。别担心，这并不象听起来这么危险- shooting some pool只是意味着打桌球!
        　　Dance the night away 整夜跳舞
        　　Hearing lots of music while bar-hopping has probably got everyone in the mood for a disco! Dancing the night awaymeans to dance for hours and hours until the early hours of the next morning. So when someone asks you the next day why you are so tired, you can tell them, “Because last night I danced the night away!”
        　　在 Hearing lots of music while bar-hopping时听到了很多的音乐自然而然让每个人都有跳舞的冲动!Dancing the night away意思是连跳几个小时的舞直到第二天的早上。因此第二天当某人问你为什么这么累时，你就可以告诉他们， “Because last night I danced the night away!”
