介绍:
14. Get out of here!
Welcome to English in a Minute.
Usually when someone says "get out of here," it's because they want you to leave. But in American English, when you say it in a certain way, it can mean something completely different.
-A: I just moved to Washington, D.C. to start a new job.
-B: Where are you originally from?
-A: Dallas, Texas.
-B: Get out of here! I'm from Dallas, Texas, too!
The phrase "get out of here!" is a way to say something is very surprising, interesting or totally unexpected.
If you say it in a harsh tone and an angry tone, it's like telling someone to go away.
Get out of here! get out of here! get out of here!
But if you say it in an excited tone with a happy face, it's a friendly way of saying you can't believe what you're hearing.
Get out of here! get out of here!
And that's English in a Minute.
