BEC中級(jí)口語(yǔ)：得饒人處且饒人

BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)核心句型：

Get off the doggie's tail.

得饒人處且饒人，放他一馬吧!

Get off the doggie's tail. 直譯過來就是：“放過狗尾巴”，顯然不能這樣望文生義，這個(gè)句子的正確意思是：“得饒人處且饒人，放別人一馬”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說"Get off the doggie's tail."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Let him off."、"Let's forgive him if possible."、"Let's be lenient whenever it is possible."。

情景對(duì)白：

Terry: That guy betrayed us. I hate his guts. It's not enough to just fire him.

泰瑞：那個(gè)家伙背叛了我們。我對(duì)他恨之入骨。炒掉他還不夠解恨。

Benjamin: Enough, Terry. Get off the doggie's tail.

本杰明：行了，泰瑞。得饒人處且饒人，放他一馬吧!

搭配句積累：

①I'll let him go bankrupt sooner or later.

我遲早要讓他破產(chǎn)。

②I said I would never forgive him and he would pay the price for what he had done.

我之前說過我永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)原諒他，他要為自己的所作所為付出代價(jià)。

③I'll have his head because he has made such a big mistake.

他犯了這么大的錯(cuò)誤，我一定要嚴(yán)懲他。

④All of our work is in vain because of him, and I will never let him off.

都是因?yàn)樗?，我們辛辛苦苦的成果都白費(fèi)了，我是不會(huì)放過他的。

BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)單詞：
