“see a man about a dog”別理解成“見(jiàn)一個(gè)和狗相關(guān)的人”，其正確的含義是不解釋而離開(kāi)；出去一下（尤指上廁所的隱晦說(shuō)法）；有點(diǎn)急事先行告辭，通常用來(lái)作為離開(kāi)或缺席的借口。
【例句】
I don't know where Tom went. He said he had to see a man about a dog.
我不知道湯姆去哪里了，他說(shuō)他出去一下。
When John said he was going to see a man about a dog, I thought he would be gone for only a minute.
當(dāng)約翰說(shuō)他準(zhǔn)備出去一下，我還以為他出去幾分鐘而已。
