1. Off and on 断断续续

The idea of being a writer bad come to me off and on since childhood, but it wasn't until recently that the possibility took hold.
从孩提时代,我就断断续续地有当作家的念头,但直到最近,这一想法才有了实现的可能。

释义:据说源于早期铁路故障。那时铁路脱轨(off the track)是常有的事,只要扳正(on the track)就行了。

断断续续,时断时续:

on and off

off again, on again

on again, off again

2. Off the hook 逃脱,溜掉,不受罚

I'll let you off the hook this time, but don't do that again.
这次不罚你,下次不要这样做了。

释义:

hook: 能把人吊死的钩子

off the hook:从钩子上放下来,放一马。
