看到今天的标题可能很多人以为我要讲 Work hard, play hard!
并不是。

Shop your little hearts out.

大家看到heart out可能第一反应觉得很恐怖…
比如看吸血鬼日记可能会有
tear/rip one’s heart out
把某个人的心脏挖出来

但在这里并不是这个意思…
举一些例子：
cry your heart out
使劲哭；玩命儿哭
to cry a lot, because you are very upset

play/work/sing etc. your heart out
痛快玩；努力工作/学习；用力歌唱
to put a lot of effort into playing, working, singing, etc.:

这里的one’s heart out 用来表示程度最高：To the maximum possible degree; as intensely as possible.
eg: The children all sang their hearts out.
孩子们都用力歌唱。

eg: She played her heart out through the tournament.
这次锦标赛她可以说是拼尽全力了。

eg: What did you say to upset your brother? He's been crying his heart out upstairs for the last half hour!
你跟你弟弟说什么了，惹他这么不开心？
他已经在楼上嚎啕大哭半个小时了。
