3.詳細解說
1.“go off”的意思是“離開”。
2.“hold on to(sth.)”表示“保留或固守（某物，而不丟掉、賣掉或送給別人），例如：I think I'll hold on to these old records for now.（我想目前我會留着這些老唱片。）另外，“hold on to sb.”則表示“守住（某人）”，例如：He wasn't sure that he would be given a chance to hold on to his wife.（他不確定他會不會有機會守着他的妻子。）
3.“part with sth.”在本對話中酌意思是“（被迫）放棄某物（並送給別人）”。例如：I'm reluctant to part with any of the kittens, but we need the money.（哪一隻小貓我都不願意捨棄給別人，可是我們需要錢。）
