Oh man. I was at the beach with my family and I went wading in the water with my dad and a friend. Suddenly there was a really big wave and a strong undertow and we all went underwater. I had to hang on to my dad‘s arm for dear life as he swam toward shore.
我靠。我和我的家人一起去海滩, 我和我爸还有一个朋友在涉水。突然有一个非常大的海浪和一个强大的暗流, 我们都到水下了。当我爸朝岸边游去的时候, 我拼命抓住他的胳膊。

Sounds really traumatizing.
听起来你受到很大的创伤。

It was at the time. But you know, those memories are important to hang on to.
当时确实如此。但是你要知道, 记着这个回忆是很重要。

In your case, let‘s hope it serves as a reminder to be more careful!
就你而言,希望可以提醒你让你更小心。

Sam

hang on用的最多的是表示：等等。比如：Hang on, I'll be ready in just a minute. 今天分享了另外两个比较常用的意思：1. 表示紧紧抓住。注意后面的介词是 to 。比如 hang on to the railing. 2. 表示保留。注意抽象的用法。比如：hang on to our fondest memories.
