【摩登家庭】 “如履薄冰”英语怎么说？

【句子】Be careful what you say, Jay. You're skating on thin eggshells right now. 【ModernFamilyS3E15】【发音】/biː/ /ˈkeə(r).fəl/ /wɒt/ /wɑːt/ /juː/ /seɪ/ /dʒeɪ/ /jə(r)/ /ˈskeɪ.tɪŋ/ /ɒn/ /ɑːn/ /θɪn/ /ˈeg.ʃelz/ /raɪt/ /naʊ/【发音技巧】what you音的同化；skating闪音；thin eggshells连读；right now不完全爆破；【翻译】小心说话，杰，你现在处境非常危险。【适用场合】今天我们来一起学习的短语，叫做skate on thin eggshells。在英文中，eggshells是什么意思呢？指的是“蛋壳”的意思。那么这个短语字面的意思是“在蛋壳上面溜冰”。其实口语中我们一般更常见的是skate on thin ice，字面意思是“在很薄的冰面滑冰”，所以这个短语可以用来描述：“处在一种很危险的境地、情况之中”，有点像汉语中的“如履薄冰、冒险”；我们来看看对应的英文解释：to be in a risky situation；下面来看看几个例子：eg: He's skating on thin ice by lying to the police.他对警方撒谎，真是冒险之举。eg: Honestly, I wouldn't even mention the new woman in work, or you could find yourself skating on thin ice with your wife.实话说，工作中新来的女同事，我在我老婆面前提都不会提，否则你会发现，你在你老婆面前很危险。eg: You are skating on thin ice when you ask me that!你居然问我那个问题，你危险了。eg: I hope you realize that you'll be skating on thin ice if you decide to gamble your employees' retirement funds on such a dodgy investment.我希望你能意识到，如果你把员工的退休金拿来押在这么一个高风险的投资上，真的是在冒极大的风险。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】I try to stay well informed so I don't end up skating on thin ice when the teacher asks me a question.
