英会話レッスンにて。ショッキングな事実に直面して、なんとなくそれが現実じゃないような気がして…ということを話した時に教えてもらった表現。
- 物事を主語にしてhitを使うと、そのことの重大さをわかる、という意味になる。(if a fact hits you, you suddenly realize its importance and feel surprised or shocked)
- It's impossible to pinpoint a moment when it hit me that I was 'a success'.
- He was gone before they knew what had hit them (=realized what had happened).
- It hit her that I wanted to settle down here.
- It finally hit him that she might be his long-lost sister.
