  迷你对话:

A:I don’t know what activity my son should take part in?

我不知道该让我的孩子学什么?

地道表达:

follow suit

解词释义:

follow做动词,有“按照(某事)去做,听从,采用”的意思,suit是样例的意思,所以follow suit就是“照别人的方式去做,学别人的样”。和我们中文中说的“如法炮制”有近似之处。

支持范例:

Eg.He go to bed and she follow suit after a few minute

他上床睡觉,几分钟後她也跟著去睡了。

Eg.Should this happen, other countries will certainly follow suit.

如果发生这样情况,别的国家一定会照样行事。
