【專欄簡介】每天分享一個有趣好玩的口語表達~記住:work sb. out跟「工作」一點關係都沒有!老外說的是這個意思...Hello,我是天天。Work sb. out跟「工作」一點關係都沒有!
某次聚會上,帥哥外教Simon跟我吐槽他的一位同事,他說,I really don't work him out. 他說這句話的時候,臉上一臉困惑。我問他,What's wrong with him? He doesn't work?(他有什麼問題嗎?他不工作?) 他忙解釋說,No, he works,but his behaviour is so weird.(不是啊,他工作,但是他的行為很古怪。)
於是,我就猜測自己搞錯了這個短語的意思,就問他work sb. out到底是什麼意思。他解釋說,to work sb. out means to understand the reasons for someone's behaviour.中文意思就是:理解某人為什麼行為,搞懂某人的行為動機。
今日表達:work sb. out
英文釋義:to work sb. out means to understand the reasons for someone's behaviour.中文解釋:理解某人的行為,搞懂某人的行為動機。今日例句:
1、To be honest, I don't really work him out today.
老實說,今天我實在搞不懂他。
2、It's not an easy thing to work other people out.
理解其他人的做法,其實並不是一件簡單的事情。
3、Why did she marry him? I don't really work her out at all.
她為什麼要嫁給他啊?我真的一點兒也搞不懂她了。
(注意:與某人結婚,marry後面不跟with,直接加sb)
We should work other people out when we're working with them.
