大家好,今天我們分享的表達是「say uncle」, 它的含義不是指「對叔叔說」!其真正的含義是:
say uncle 承認失敗,認輸
The brothers often play fought, but it was invariably the younger of the two who had to say uncle by the end.
兄弟倆經常嬉戲打鬧,但是最後認輸總是弟弟。
Say "uncle," and I'll let you out of this headlock!
你認輸我就放開你了。
headlock (摔跤動作中的)夾頭; 鎖頭
I never say uncle. I just keep right on going.
我永不言敗,我再接再厲。
I refused to say uncle no matter how they bluffed me.
無論他們怎樣嚇唬我,我都不肯服輸。
I tried three times, but I had to say uncle.
我試了三次,但我不得不放棄了。
