輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇 第58期:背后捅刀子
I didn't expect that she would stab me in the back.
我沒(méi)有料到她會(huì)在我背后捅我一刀。
to stab someone in the back直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“在某人背后捅刀子”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)很形象地表達(dá)了：“在背后中傷別人，暗箭傷人”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"I didn't expect that she would stab me in the back."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"I didn't expect that she would hit me secretly."、"I didn't expect that shewould speak ill of me under the table."、"I did never think that she would injure me byunderhand means."。
