 俗话说,林子大了什么鸟都有。有一种人就是很喜欢推卸责任。明明事情搞砸了,错在他(她),可他(她)偏偏就是不承认,还把责任推到别人身上。这种行为用英语说就是“pass the buck 1”。


“Buck”在这里不是“美元”的意思,而是以前人们玩纸牌时用的一种东西。当时,人们玩牌的时候害怕其他人耍诈,因此规定轮换着发牌。发牌的人会拿到一个东西作为记号,这个东西通常是刀。由于刀柄是雄鹿(buck)角做的,因此这个做记号的东西就被叫作“buck”。当轮到下一个人发牌时,“buck”就传给他(pass the buck),也就是发牌权传给了他。后来,这个短语演变成了“把责任推给别人”。
看下面例句:
If you break a glass, do not pass the buck, admit that you did it. (如果你打碎了杯子,不要推卸责任,要承认是你打碎的。)

n.雄鹿,雄兔;v.马离地跳跃
  • The boy bent curiously to the skeleton of the buck.这个男孩好奇地弯下身去看鹿的骸骨。
  • The female deer attracts the buck with high-pitched sounds.雌鹿以尖声吸引雄鹿。
