　　迷你對話

　　A: I have a bone to pick with you, sir. I cannot goalong with your view.

　　先生，我得和你理論一番，我不同意您的觀點。

　　B: OK. Go ahead.

　　好的，說吧。

　　地道表達

　　have a bone to pick

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Have a bone to pick從字面意思是“挑骨頭”的意思，引申為“有理由來抱怨或爭論”。這個習語源于16世紀是從狗啃骨頭這一行為引申而來的。狗對于骨頭有極大的愛好，總是啃不完，愛不釋手，于是，have a bone topick就被用來指代“需要常時間討論的事情”了。

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. I can't make out why he seems to have a bone to pick with almost everyone.

　　我真搞不懂為什么他好象和幾乎每個人都有仇似的。

　　e.g. Here! I have a bone to pick with you about the way you spoke to me yesterday.

　　喂!我對你昨天向我說話的那種方式有意見。

　　e.g. I have a bone to pick with you. You still owe me the fifteen dollars you borrowed.

　　我有賬跟你算。你向我借的十五美金還沒還呢!

　　Ps：go along with的意思是“贊同”，相當于agree with。例如：

　　Your suggestion is illegal; I can't go along with it.

　　你的建議不合法;我不能贊同。

　　You'll have to go along with it, or the whole deal's off.

　　可你必須照辦，否則這樁買賣就吹了。
