[敷衍搪塞] give someone the runaround别拿话儿搪塞我们。
我们只想知道你到底是同意还是不同意。
Don’t give us the runaround. We’d just like to know whether you agree or not.“拿话儿搪塞”或“敷衍搪塞”的说法可用give someone the runaround的句式来表示。
give someone the runaround实际上指“使某人到处乱转”,即在“找借口”或“托辞”。
这也就相当于“搪塞”所要表达的意思了。
请看下述例句:Sample Sentences1、不要拿话搪塞我,告诉我你到底想不想和我结婚!Don’t give me the runaround. Just tell me if you would marry me or not.2、我跟他借钱,他只是拿话搪塞却分文未借。
I asked him to lend me some money, but I got nothing except the runaround.3、希望这次你能给我个确切的答复,别再拿话搪塞我了。
I’ve come to know the definite answer this time, not the runaround again.[哭穷] to poor-mouth别跟我哭穷了,我还不知道你的底细?Don’t poor-mouth to me . I have your number.汉语中“哭穷”的说法实际上是指一种“掩盖钱财实力”,“装寒酸”的掩饰行为,可用俚语poor-mouth来表示。
例如:每当我要跟他借钱的时候他就跟我哭穷。
He would poor-mouth to me whenever I come to borrow money.此语是个多义词,有时也可用来表示“说话留有余地”的意思。
