短语 hang on 的直接翻译是挂在什么东西上面，就像图中显示的那样。更常用的意思是请他人稍等片刻。

例句

Hang on! Look over there, isn't that Joe in the yellow T-shirt and straw hat?

请注意

英语中我们有时会告诉别人 to hang in there. 这是一个口语化表达意思是在困难时期坚持下去。

Even though you hate your job, just hang in there for a couple more months, it will look great on your CV!

I know you can't stand your mother-in-law but just hang in there, the evening will be over soon.
