Kiss up 拍马屁

对话：

Do you like your teacher?
Not really.
Why not?
I have to kiss up to him to get good marks.

你喜欢你的老师吗？
还好啦！
为什么不？
我必须拍他的马屁才能得到好成绩。



解说:

你知道"拍马屁"怎么说吗? 这就是今天要教的内容. 如果有人对你猛拍马屁时,

你就可以用下面那句话了:

Are you trying to kiss up to me?

你在对我拍马屁吗？

例句：

Maybe if you kiss up to your mother, she will let you go to the

movies with me.

或许你拍拍你妈妈的马屁，她就会让你跟我去看电影了。

When punishing Billy, keep in mind that he's only five years old.

在处罚比利的时候，要记得他只是个五岁的孩子。

That best-selling writer's new book unexpectedly won high critical acclaim.

英解：to agree with, be satisfied with

「be down with」这句俚语是用来表示赞同或接受对方的提议。有趣的是，你也可以用另一句俚语「be up for」来表达相同的意思。

A: What do you feel like eating? How about that new Mexican restaurant across the street?

你想吃什么？去吃对街那家新开的墨西哥餐厅怎么样？

B: Yeah, I'm down with that. I haven't had Mexican food for a long time.

好啊，我赞成。我很久没吃墨西哥菜了。

Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And there fore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know that he doth not.

读书使人充实；交谈使人机敏；摘录使人精确。因此，一个人读书时如果很少摘录，则需有超群的记忆；如果他很少与人交谈，则应有随机应变之才；如果他很少读书，则需要取巧有术，让人觉得他并非孤陋寡闻。

【这是培根在论读书中的妙论之一。希望你也能脱口而出^*^】
