迷你对话学英语口语 第973期:暗箭伤人,背后使坏

Source: 恒星英语学习网    2019-06-02  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

第一, 迷你对话

A: Someone hit Mark below the belt. And Mark is very upset these days.

这些日子,有人在Mark背后使坏,Mark心里郁闷。

B: That must have something to do with his girlfriend.

可能和他女友有关系吧。

A: You are right. It is the one who was trying to beat Mark’s time.

没错。就是想挖他墙角的人干的。

B: It is vicious of him to do that.

这样干,太缺德了。

第二, 地道表达

hit sb. below the belt

1. 解词释义

Hit sb. below the belt的原意是“击打拳击手腰部以下的部位”,引申为“使用卑劣的手段,背后使坏”的意思。

2. 拓展范例

e.g. I think if someone wants to criticize me, they should focus on my work. Mentioning my past alcohol problems is below the belt. Now everyone will change their opinion of me, and I don't deserve that.

我觉得,你要是想批评我,应该从工作上出发。把我以前酗酒的事情翻出来,这样做并不光明正大。如今,所有人都会改变对我的看法,这对我来说是不公平的。

e.g. The question for me is whether the public will go more against Mr. e.g. Davies for his marital failures or against Mr. Kraft for bringing them up. While Mr. Kraft's tactic was effective, it was also clearly below the belt.

我认为问题是要看,选民到底会因为戴维斯婚姻上的失败而不再支持他,还是会因为克拉夫特提出这件事而对他产生反感。克拉夫特这一招确实起到了效果,但显然不够光明磊落。

第三, 咬文嚼字

have something to do with:与……有关,与……有牵连

e.g. Her diligence must have something to do with his success.

她的勤勉和她的成功一定有某些关系。

e.g. Does his visit have something to do with the meeting tomorrow?

他这次来是不是跟明天的会议有关?

beat someone’s time:向某人好的方面进攻,抢夺某人好的东西

e.g. Tom accused his brother of trying to beat his time.

汤姆责怪他的兄弟企图夺走他的女朋友。

第四, 口语句型

表示某人做某事很毒辣,可以用这个句型“It is vicious of sb. to do something.”
