✔ 最佳答案
1)
off the bat或right off the bat是一句諺語,其意是:立刻,毫不猶豫
如:You can't expect to be accepted in a new town right/straight off the bat.

2)
thousand是千,而ten thousand是萬,
所以,tens of thousands即”數以萬計”
3)這是因為動名詞意思上的主詞,是用所有格帶出,如:
  He insisted on my going there.(不用I, 而用my)
但有一點要留意,若主句主詞與動名詞意思上的主詞是一樣,則我們可以不用所有格帶出,如:
He insisted on going there.(沒有his,或說his可被省略)

希望幫到你!

對不起,一時想不起,香港也有不少中學是以英文教文法的

動名詞的英文是:gerund

而所有格是:possessive case或稱genitive case,即my, your, his, her, their,或Peter's等
