三月，乍暖还寒，但春天还是一步一步近了。其实更希望的，是笼罩全球的经济寒冬快快过去。Hang together, and we’ll be fine.
Hang is a simple word, but there are many meanings for hang, especially when it is used with other words.
Two often heard expressions are to hang tight and to hang loose. When a friend says to hang tight, he is advising you to wait a little longer, not to give up. He might say, for example, “Hang tight. Keep studying. You can still pass the course.” But if that same friend tells you to hang loose, he is telling you to take it easy, not to get excited. He could say, “Hang loose. You probably passed the English test.”
Hang around is an expression with several meanings. Usually it means to spend your time doing nothing. You may need time to just hang around if you have been working too hard. Hang around also can mean spending time with friends. You hang around with your friends, for example, because you share a common interest in sports.
Hanging out is similar to hanging around. You may hang out with the same group of friends and always do things together.
A similar sounding expression, however, has a very different meaning. The expression is let it all hang out. Well, when you let it all hang out, you are being completely open and honest. You do not keep your opinions hidden, even if they may cause you trouble.
Sometimes a person may suffer from a hang-up. Well, a hang-up is an emotional difficulty that causes a problem for a person. You may know someone, for example, whose hang-up is shyness. They have a problem talking with people they do not know well.
A hangover can be a very painful condition. A hangover is the headache, upset stomach and other disorders that result from drinking too much alcohol.
Another common expression is to get the hang of something. It means to understand how a device works or how to do a job. An office worker might say that she cannot get the hang of using a computer. But after a few days, she may tell you that she finally got the hang of it.
One of the early heroes of the America Republic, Benjamin Franklin, gave a warning to the other signers of the Declaration of Independence. The warning contained two different meanings of the word hang. “We must all hang together,” Franklin said, “or surely we shall all hang separately.” The other signers took Franklin’s advice. They hung together, remained united. As a result, the American colonies won their independence and none of the signers of the declaration was hanged as a revolutionary by the King of England.
● tight和loose本是一对反义词，但是当它们前面加了hang，意思就有了比较大的变化。hang tight表示再坚持一会儿、别放弃的意思；而hang loose则表示放松、别紧张。
● hang around这个词组在口语中相当常见。它最常用的意思是“到处闲逛、游荡”。当然，你也可以用它来表示和其他人在一起，比如：I hate hanging around with her. It’s so boring! （我讨厌跟她在一起，无聊透了！）除了这两个动态意味十足的意思外，hang around也有“停留，挥之不去”之意。例如：The flu can hang around for a month or so. （这次流感估计得持续一个月左右的时间。）
● 固定搭配hang out with someone与hang around意思相近，都表示与朋友一起活动。但是在短语hang out for a second/minute中，hang out则是“稍等一会儿”的意思。而下文出现的俗语“Let it all hang out.”意思又有变化，它表示“开诚布公，敞开胸怀；即使知道说出来的话会引起一些不必要的麻烦，也要说出你想说的话。”如果跟朋友或家人有了矛盾，不妨let it all hang out吧！
● hang up大家都很熟悉了。作为动词词组的它常用的意思有“把……悬挂起来；挂断（电话）；请稍等”等意思，但是当hang up变成hang-up，动词词组变成名词，意思也大相径庭。hang-up表示心理问题或心理障碍。你可以说：His insecurity is one of his hang-ups. （他的心理障碍之一就是没有安全感。）
● hangover在之前的《口语版》中也多次出现了哦。它表示宿醉后身体出现的不适感，诸如头痛、精神萎靡等症状。
● 如果你想表达你已经掌握了某事的窍门或规律，你可以用“to get the hang of something”这个词组来表示。它有经过多番尝试和努力后获得成功的意味。比如说：Keep practising. You’ll get the hang of it.（多练习，你最终会掌握它的。）
● 实际上，本杰明·富兰克林的原话是“We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”这是富兰克林于1776年签署《独立宣言》时讲的一句名言。意思是“我们要不团结在一起，要不一起上绞架”。在这句话中，前后两个hang的意思也大不相同。Hang together是团结在一起的意思，而后面的hang则是“上绞架，被吊死”的意思。而together和separately意思正好相对，英语的巧妙之处在此体现无遗。喜欢名人名言的读者朋友们可要记牢咯！
