to hang on (to) someone's every word 一字不漏的聆听

如果你因为仰慕某人而对他/她说的话一字不漏的聆听，每句话都记在心里，就可以用 hang on (to) someone's every word 来形容。

 

例句

She really likes her English professor. She seems to hang on to his every word.

I love the sound of that presenter's voice. When he's on the radio I hang on to his every word.

 

请注意

多词动词 multi-word verb¹ 在英语中的使用非常广泛，hang on 就是其中之一，意思是“等一等，稍候一会儿”。

I'll see you later. I have to hang on and have a chat with the professor.
