【情景再现】


Tom最近工作中总是出错,惹得上司三天两头对他发火。昨天他又弄丢了一份重要文件,上司扬言要开除他。Catherine听说了这件事后,决定找上司说说情。Tom拦住了她,说:Thank you very much, my friend. But I don't want to put you out.


I don't want to put you out.我不想给你添麻烦。


这个习语乍一看,好像是说:“我不想让你出去。”但这与其真实意义相去甚远。这并不奇怪,因为俚语和习语的定义就是,那些表面意义和真实意义相去甚远的句子,或是从其中的一个个单词根本无法看出整个句子真实意义的句子。这里的put out意思是“使不方便,打扰”,例如:I'm sorry, I've put you out.这句话的意思就是“很抱歉给你们添麻烦了”。


【英语情景剧】




Jane: I see you are so tired. You might 1 as 2 well stay with me tonight and set 3 off 4 tomorrow.

简:看得出你已经很累了,你今晚还是待在我这里吧,等明天再出发。


Shirley: Thank you very much. But I don't want to put you out.

雪莉:真是非常感谢啊,不过我不想给你添麻烦
