   36. pass oneself off as...


  pass oneself off as...的意思就是「某人蒙混成……以过关」,好比小孩装成大人去看限制级电影,这可能是服装的不同,或是整体打扮的乔装,甚至还包括语调口音的不同。
  37. be out of someone's league
  league是指「联盟」,好比美国职棒的「大联盟」就是Major League。A be out of B's league.这句话的意思就是A的层级、能耐或是地位……都比B高出许多,非B所能及。若是使用在男女关系上,就是指「B配不上A」,若是使用在一般分胜负的情况,就是指「B比不上A」。
  38. talk back
  talk back字面的意思是「说回去」,也就是「回嘴,顶嘴」的意思。用在句子里,你可以说Don't talk back to your parents.「别跟父母顶嘴」。或是简洁地说Don't talk back.「不许顶嘴」。
  39. spare no effort
  spare的意思是「省却,省下」,effort是「努力」,spare no effort就是指「不惜血本,不计代价」,也就是你下定决心,就算用尽一切资源,也要达成某一个目标。
  40. Would you cut it out, already?
  cut it out是指「住嘴,住手」的意思,Would you cut it out, already?这句话当中的already,暗示着说话者的极度不耐烦,整句话的意思就犹如中文里的「你到底是有完没完?」
  41. Put him through.
  这是一句相当标准的电话用语,「把他转接给我。」在日常生活中,尤其是办公室,同事间可能常会接到找你的电话,这时候你就可以说Put him / her through.请他们「把电话转接给你」;若你是帮同事接电话的那个人,你就可以跟对方说I'll put you through.「我帮你转过去」。
  42. Put it on my tab.
  tab为小纸片的意思,在过去没有签帐卡、信用卡的时代,外出购物可能会发生带不够钱的窘境,于是乎老板通常便把所赊的帐记录在一张小纸片上,因此put it on one's tab便是「记在某人的帐上」的意思,所以下次当你发现没带钱时,就可以帅气地说出Put it on my tab!,但是我们不保证你能全身而退。
  43. No hard feelings.
  No hard feelings.这句常用短语的意思是「请别见怪,不伤和气。」当你不小心在太岁头上动了土,或是对方把你的玩笑当真而动了肝火,便要赶紧祭出No hard feelings.这句话,好缓和缓和气氛。
  44. cut someone loose
  loose的意思为「松开的,未受控制的」,cut someone loose原本的意思是「帮某人解开束缚」,引申为「与……切断关系,把某人甩掉」,例如Let's cut him loose!「把他甩掉!」可以帮你免除跟屁虫的骚扰。
  45. join the force
  force是「力量」的意思,the force是指「警察,警力」,而join the force自然是「投身警界」,充当人民褓母之意。不过可要注意,若有人说join the Forces指的可是「从军」喔!
