迷你对话:
A: Who is responsible for the accident? Is it Tony’s fault?
谁对这次事故负责?是Tony的错吗?
B: No. I don’t suppose he’s to blame. The man in the other car made a big mistake.
不,我认为这不能怪他,另外那辆车的司机犯了大错误。
A: You mean Tony is the victim? No, I don’t think so. He’s equally responsible because he tried to overtake you.
你是说Tony是受害者?我不这样看,因为他想追上你,他也同样要负责任。
B: Yeah. I think everyone should go easy on driving.
是呀,每个人在开车时要小心才是。
地道表达:go easy on
解词释义:easy在这里的意思是“(用作命令语)小心缓缓移动某事物”。短语go easy on是“对某人(某事)谨慎,从容或有节制”的意思。
支持范例:

要节省点吃——蛋糕剩下不多了。
Go easy on the brandy——it's the last bottle!
白兰地要省着喝——这是最后一瓶!
