   Subject:Get off the doggie’s tail.


  迷你对话
  A: That guy betrayed me. I hate him very much. It’s not enough to just let him go bankrupt.
  那个家伙背叛了我。我非常憎恨他,仅仅让他破产是不够的。
  B: Enough, Terry. Get off the doggie’s tail.
  Terry,够了。得饶人处且饶人吧,放他一马吧。
  地道表达
  get off the doggie’s tail
  1. 解词释义
  此俚语的意思是“得饶人处且饶人,放别人一马”。用于劝诫那些为已经过去的事情或人耿耿于怀,甚至还怀有报复心理的人。
  2. 拓展范例
  A: She speak ill of me behind my back. I will find some opportunity to teach her a lesson.
  她在我背后说我的坏话,我回去找到个机会报复她的。
  B: Come on, it is not a big deal. And she made a apology to you for it. Get off the doggie’s tail.
  得了吧,又不是什么大事情。她已经为此事向你表示道歉了,就得饶人处且饶人吧。
  Ps 1: 表示“仅仅做某事是不够的。”可以用下面这个句型:It is not just enough to do something. “仅仅”二字的翻译可以用副词just,表示强调。例如:
  It is not enough just to eat a healthy diet.
  仅仅靠一份健康的食谱是不够的。
  Ps 2:go bankrupt的意思是“破产,倒闭”。例如:
  Their backs are to the wall. If they don't find another creditor 1, they will go bankrupt.
  他们的处境困难, 如果找不到另一个贷款的人,他们就要破产。
  It was touch and go whether we'd go bankrupt.
  我们是否会破产还很难说。

n.债仅人,债主,贷方
  • The boss assigned his car to his creditor.那工头把自己的小汽车让与了债权人。
  • I had to run away from my creditor whom I made a usurious loan.我借了高利贷不得不四处躲债。
