BBC初级口语:大逃亡

VICKI:I think it's time for us to get away from it all Matt.

MATT:Get away from it all? Go away and leave all our work behind? Where are we going?

VICKI:Well I thought we could get away from it all and go on holiday!

MATT:I would really like to get away on holiday. I'm all excited now – I love holidays. Where are we going?

VICKI:Well Matt, we don't have to plan a holiday that carefully. We could just take off somewhere.

MATT:Take off somewhere – what? just leave now without planning anything?

VICKI:Sure. Why not? We could just go to the travel agent today and buy some tickets. We've been working hard presenting this programme – we deserve a holiday!

MATT:Right! I'm going to pack my bags now!

get away from it all在不同的语境中可以有不同的解释，这里可以理解为"抛开一切(工作)".

不知道大家学过新概念英语4没,里面有篇课文里有句话就是" That the equipment of modern camping becomes yearly more sophisticated is an entertaining paradox for the cynic, a brighter promise for the hopeful traveler who has sworn to get away from it all."翻译为" 现代露营装备一年比一年讲究,这对那些厌世嫉俗者来说是一件有趣的自相矛盾的事情.而对于发誓用露营来摆脱烦恼的人来说,却带来了更光明的前景."

Go on a holiday:去度假

Take off: to leave a place, esp. in a hurry 匆匆离去,匆忙离开
