迷你对话学地道口语第223期:动一根汗毛

迷你对话：

A: I’m really pissed.

真是气死我了。

B: Why? Tell me what’s the matter.

怎么啦？给我说说看。

A: I am angry with Tom again.

我又生Tom的气了。

B: Why do you.often get angry with Tom.

你为什么总是生他的气？

A: He always make mistakes.

他总是犯错误。

B: After all, he is only a child. If you lay a finger on him, I’ll leave you.

他毕竟还是个孩子，你要动他一根毛，我就离开你。

地道表达：

lay a finer on

解词释义：

lay是动词，意思是“将某物放置于某位置上或某物表面”，短语lay a finer on等同于put a finger on，二者的意思都是“接触”“干扰”“动......一根毫毛”，引申为“加害”。

支持范例：

How dare you lay a finger on him? He is your boss' son.

你怎敢碰他？ 他是老板的儿子。

If you lay a finger on that boy (ie harm him physically), I'll never forgive you.

你若碰这孩子一下，我就决不饶你。

If you lay a finger on her, I'll beat your brains out!

要是你干涉她，我就打碎你的脑袋！

The father wouldn't lay a finger on the children.

那父亲不动孩子们一根毫毛。
