  迷你对话:

A: That’s really a let-down.

那可真令人失望。

B: Yeah. He really does let me down.

是的,他确实让我失望。

A: But that should not be the reason for you to lose heart.

但是这不应该成为你灰心的理由。

B: I’m at the end of tether. I run out of ideas.

我再没有精力了,我已经无计可施了。

地道表达:

let someone down

解词释义:

let someone down与“make somebody disappointed”的意思一样,都是“使某人失望”。有点场合使用的区别,就是let sb down在口语实用频率更高。

拓展讲解:

let down用连字符将它们组合在一起,就变了名词let-down。这在对话中的第一句就可以看到。

支持范例:

I don't see that you let him down in any way.

我看这没有什么对不起人的地方。

Her tense face told me that we had let him down hard.

她紧张的面色告诉我们这次我们可大大地辜负了他了。

You don't expect him to let you down.

你不希望他拆你的台。

You can believe in him and he will never let you down.

你可信任他,他决不会使你失望。
