英语习语俚语："Ride someone hard"情景对话：
Mike：We'relooking at the plans for her house. 我们正在研究她的重建方案Eide：Myinsurance company's cutting my check. 保险公司削减了我的赔偿金------>>There'sonly one plumber I want. 麦克又是我唯一看中的水管工------>>Don'texpect to see this guy for a few months. 这几个月就别想见他了------>>I'mgonna be riding him hard. 我会整天追在他后头Susan：Well,if anybody can go the distance, he can. I should know. 是吗？他能不能坚持下来的我说了算！
在这个场景中，Edie使用了绝望的主妇惯用的语言修辞：双关语（double entendre），一方面她意欲让Mike为她马不停蹄、拼命干活；另一面则是暗示：她要骑到Mike身上，驱动两人疯狂发生性行为。
So yes, it means Edie plans to make the plumber (arh, there's another innuendo!) work hard, as well as have sex with him.A lot of Desperate Housewives dialogue drips with double entendre. It originates from when people would ride horses and do so quickly. Imagine riding a horse fast for several miles and you will know what ride hard means. It now means a variety of things...including rough sex. Ride hard could pertain to riding a motorcycle offroad etc. Now THAT phrase is definitely sexual. If someone looks "rode hard and put up wet", it means they look like either 1) they had a wild, exhausting sexual encounter and/or 2) this happens frequently. It does not have a positive connotation. It implicates that one (usually a woman) is being used sexually by too many people.
