奧巴馬新書《A Promised Land 應許之地》證實拜登當初不同意襲擊(raid)本拉登。還提到川普在得知他曾提出過要幫助控製的墨西哥灣泄露的油井已經得到控製而不需要他的幫助/service後,看到奧巴馬在白宮隻能搭帳篷開宴會而立即向其提出可以幫在白宮蓋一個好的ballroom - 川普真是一個有很好嗅覺的地產商。

Hit the shelves: to become available for purchase. 

  • When her newest scent, Covet, hit the shelves in July 2007, it joined its predecessor, Lovely, in becoming a near-instant top seller.

  • We're unveiling a list of new food products set to hit the market shelves this season

 

關於這本書,奧巴馬自己的介紹:

Obama: my memoir, A Promised Land, is out today. I hope you’ll read it. My goal was to give you some insight into the events and people that shaped me during the early years of my presidency. Most of all, I hope it inspires you to see yourself playing a role in shaping a better world.

 

不過,我們在這主要不是來談論這本書的,而是要學習一下hit the shelves以及其它一些與hit有關的單詞和短語。

 

其它常用的有hit的詞和短語
