今天的内容是:beat around the bush.
beat, 敲打,拍打。bush, 灌木丛。
beat around the bush,字面意是在灌木丛的周围敲打,拍打灌木丛的周围,但就是打不到灌木丛里面,
所以就用beat around the bush来形容旁敲侧击,拐弯抹角,说话绕圈子。
比如说,别拐弯抹角了,告诉我们到底发生了什么:
Don’t beat around the bush. Just tell us what happened.
我们时间很紧迫,所以就别绕圈子了:
We don’t have a lot of time. So stop beating around the bush.
没有必要拐弯抹角,我们都是好朋友:
There is no need to beat around the bush. We are all good friends.
(这里有一个句型很重要:There is no need to do something.
Need名词表示需要,there is no need, 不需要,没有必要。
没有必要做某事就是There is no need to do something. ) 今天口语天天练的内容就是Beat around the bush. 拐弯抹角,绕圈子。
