LL: He told me the tow truck finally arrived. It looks like I"m off the hook!

LH: Off the hook? 这种说法跟钓鱼有关吧？

LL: Yes, it does, Li Hua. You know when you go fishing for fun, how you put a hook on the end of your line?

LH: 当然了，我还记得上次跟你老爸一起去钓鱼，鱼线最后面有一个钩子，在上面挂上鱼饵。

LL: And when a worm is off the hook, it is free. Just like I am now. I am off the hook, because I don"t need to drive Dave to work after all.

LH: 所以，off the hook就是脱身的意思。你不用再开车送Dave去上班了，所以你说自己是off the hook.

LL: That"s right. Say, speaking of obligations, don"t you have a Chinese class you should be teaching right now?
