Throw someone under the bus”可不是 “把某人扔到公交车下” 的意思啦!

from 早餐英语|实用英文口语

好多小伙伴在看英文电影或电视剧时,总是对这句话感到迷惑:“Throw someone under the bus”。“throw” 有扔、投掷的意思,“someone” 是某人,“under the bus” 是在公交车下面。字面上看,感觉是 “把某人扔到公交车下” 的意思。可一代入到台词的情景中,却怎么都不对劲。今天卡卡老师就来带大家解读“Throw someone under the bus” 的真实意思和用法。“Throw someone under the bus”意思是 “出卖某人;背叛某人;让某人背黑锅;为了自保而牺牲某人”。用于描述在某种情况下,一个人为了使自己免受伤害、麻烦或责任,而将另一个人置于不利的境地,通常是通过指责、诬陷或推卸责任等方式。Throw someone under the bus是一个相对比较新的说法,在美国第一次出现在媒体上应该是1991年。许多英国网友表示在英国早就有了,英国年轻人普遍用来表示要把某人赶走,或揭示秘密。也有“背叛”的意思,但程度没有那么可怕。但是,等这个短语传到了美国,对华盛顿的政客来说,死道友不死贫道是再平常不过了,所以它就频繁出现在了政治评论或体育报道里,成了彻底的“牺牲、当作替罪羊、背叛”的意思。例如:When things go wrong, John always finds for someone to throw under the bus.一出问题,约翰总是找人来当替罪羊。Don't throw me under the bus when the boss asks about the mistake. We made it together.当老板问起那个错误时,别让我背黑锅。那是我们一起犯的错。原声再现-It's my goddamn fault.这是我的错。-No, Harvey, it's not.It's Mike's fault just as much as it is yours.不,哈维,不是的。这既是迈克的错,也是你的错。-Then why should I be the one to throw him under the bus?那为什么要我来将他推进火坑?-Don't you get it? I am not asking you to throw him under the bus.I am asking you to believe that the two of you are worthy of being found innocent.你还不明白吗?我不是要你把他推出去当替罪羊。我是要你相信你们俩都理应被判定无罪。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
