算了，在這右轉。這個時間，高速公路會水泄不通。我們走一條小路。走呀！別擋著路呀！走開，走開！

你簡直是個怪胎！

Notes:

1.speed up加速；相反，減速叫reduce the speed或slow down。例句：We must think of a way to speed up the process.我們必須想一個辦法加速進程。

2.step on it加大油門；加把勁。例句：You will be late if you do not step on it.你再不加快速度就要遲到了。If you don't step on it, we shall not get to the station in time.如果你不加速的話，我們就不能及時趕到。

3.Are you nuts?你瘋了嗎？還可以說Are you crazy/mad?

4.have a fit大發脾氣。My boss would have a fit if I made such mistake.如果我犯這樣的錯，我老板會大發雷霆的。

5.take a shortcut抄近路。I tried to take a shortcut and got lost.我試著走近路，結果迷路了。

6.make it表示“成功做某事；及時趕到”。You made it.可以表示“你做到了?！币部梢员硎尽澳憬K于到了?！本唧w意思需要根據語境去理解。
