奥巴马新书《A Promised Land 应许之地》证实拜登当初不同意袭击(raid)本拉登。还提到川普在得知他曾提出过要帮助控制的墨西哥湾泄露的油井已经得到控制而不需要他的帮助/service后,看到奥巴马在白宫只能搭帐篷开宴会而立即向其提出可以帮在白宫盖一个好的ballroom - 川普真是一个有很好嗅觉的地产商。

Hit the shelves: to become available for purchase. 

  • When her newest scent, Covet, hit the shelves in July 2007, it joined its predecessor, Lovely, in becoming a near-instant top seller.

  • We're unveiling a list of new food products set to hit the market shelves this season

 

关于这本书,奥巴马自己的介绍:

Obama: my memoir, A Promised Land, is out today. I hope you’ll read it. My goal was to give you some insight into the events and people that shaped me during the early years of my presidency. Most of all, I hope it inspires you to see yourself playing a role in shaping a better world.

 

不过,我们在这主要不是来谈论这本书的,而是要学习一下hit the shelves以及其它一些与hit有关的单词和短语。
