| 词汇 | take out |
| 词源 | take out. In the sense of to kill or destroy, to take out was first recorded in Raymond Chandler’s detective novel The Big Sleep (1939): “I’ll take him out. He’ll think a bridge fell on him.” Chandler may have coined the term, which has nothing to do, of course, with taking out food or taking out a date. |
