Subject : He just brush it off.

第一、迷你对话

A: Have you talked to your boyfriend about buying a table?

你跟你的男友谈了买桌子的事情吗?

B: Yes, but he just brushed it off as if it were only my business.

谈过了,但他只是轻轻带过,好像这事情只是我的事儿一样。

第二、地道表达

brush off

1. 解词释义

Brush off的原意是“刷掉,刷掉, 掸掉, 拂掉”的意思。例如:Dust on the surface brushes off easily. (表面的灰尘容易掸掉。)Please brush this insect off.(请把这只虫掸掉。)在口语中,可以用来表示“拒绝,漠视,不理睬”等意思。

使用这个短语的时候,注意brush off之间既可以接something,也可以接somebody。它除了做动词短语用外,还可以做名次短语用,但是需要用—连字符将其连接起来。例如:She gave me the brush - off. (她不理我。)I wanted to keep in touch, but when I called him he gave me the brush-off.(我想和他保持联系,但当我打电话给他时,他却不理睬我。)


2. 拓展例句

e.g. Nixon was less likely to brush off the bearer of unwelcome intelligence.

尼克松不大可能对他的逆耳之言置之不理。

e.g. I didn't expect her to brush us off like this.

我没有料到她会这样拒绝我们。

e.g. He is not a good guy. You'd better brush him off.

此人并非好人,你最好撇开他。

第三,咬文嚼字

1. as if的意思是“好像,似乎”,是复合连词,引导的状语从句中的谓语要使用虚拟语气。例如:

The house seemed muted, hushed as if it had been deserted.

房子里似乎悄然无声,安静得好像已经没人在住一样。

She could hear his ragged breathing, as if he had been running.

她能听到他不均匀的呼吸声,似乎他是跑着过来的。

2. talk to sb. about something的意思是和某人谈论什么事情,注意语序的放置,人位于事物或事件之前。

He intends to talk to young people about the dangers of AIDS.

他打算和青年人谈谈艾滋病的危害。
