shoot from the hip Explanation: Tak jak poniższych przykładach: In self defense he shot from the hip and from the ground hitting both cops but not killing them. Though terrified, he shot from the hip at point blank. The musket-fire lit up the night and illuminated the creature. I cannot recall if he shot from the hip or from eye level. Samo wyrażenie używane również jako idiom oznaczający "To speak hastily, bluntly or directly, without preparation or concern for the consequences". Wyraża szybkość reakcji, ale ogranicza znaczenie do strzału z wysokości biodra - trzeba rozważyć kontekst -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-11-13 20:06:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oczywiście "strzał z przyrzutu/podrzutu?" to będzie "shot from the hip", ale Google daje też dużo trafień dla "hip shot". Większość z nich jest zmodernizowana i oznacza moment robienia zdjęcia, ale kontekst wskazuje, że chodzi o zdjęcie robione szybko/ukradkiem. |
