He is wondering if he should knock off and hit the sack or keep on listening to Cameron curse real steady.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
短语释意:
knock off: (infml), stop working, usu. at the end of the day.
(非正式用语),停止工作,通常指一天结束的时候。
hit the sack: go to bed.
上床休息
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
句子翻译:
The sentence means that the character is thinking about if he should leave working and go to bed, or just stay there being buried in Cameron's real steady curse.
该句大意为:他一直在琢磨是该下班去睡觉,还是继续听卡默伦骂个不停。
注意两个短语的区别:knock off: 下班,停止工作
knock down: 撞倒

We like to do our laundry on Sunday.
我们喜欢在星期天洗衣服。
----------------------------------------------------------------------
也许很多人都知道 do the laundry 就是洗衣服,但是可能不知道 do 这个字有「清洁」的意思在内。比方说 "Let me help you do the dishes after dinner." 这里 do the dishes 就是「洗碗盘」的意思。所以下次如果当你再听到老美说,"Let's do the kitchen before we move out." 时,你就不会觉得太惊讶,因为这里的 do the kitchen 就是 clean the kitchen 的意思。(本句来自《小笨霖英语笔记本》)
