今天我们要学的词组是against the grain。 Grain是谷子,不过在这里,grain指的木材的纹理。木工都知道,刨木头一定要顺着木材的纹理;"You cannot polish wood against the grain." 作为习惯用语,against the grain有违背心愿、令人不满的意思。


美国共和党保守派一向反对堕胎和同性恋。可是有意参加2008年大选的纽约市前市长、共和党人Rudolph Giuliani既支持堕胎,也主张保障同性恋权利。媒体报道说,"Giuliani goes against the grain," 意思是说Giuliani的立场同保守派的观点格格不入 。不过Giuliani的支持率目前领先于其他共和党候选人。今天我们学习的词组是against the grain..
