核心句型:
Don't knock it!
别挑剔了!
Don't knock it 字面意思是:“不要敲它”,你可不要被它的表面意思给迷惑了哦。knock在此处表示:“找茬,挑剔,非难,抨击”,所以这个习语的真正含义是:“不要太挑剔”。因此,当美国人说"Don't knock it!"时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Don't be so fussy 1!"、"Don't be too particular about others!"、"Don't be so finicky!"。
情景对白:
Lenna: I'm thinking about changing a job with a better salary and more comfortable working environment.
