迷你对话学地道口语第556期:欺骗哄骗  

Subject：Don’t string me along.,迷你对话,A:I passed my math exam, and I got 100!,我的数学考试及格了，考了100分。,B:Don’tsting me along.,不要欺骗我了。,地道表达,string along,1.解词释义,String somebody along中的string是做动词用，意思是“用绳子拴起来”。此语的字面意思是“拴这某人走”，比喻为“欺骗，哄骗”。其英文解释为：to maintain someone's attention or interest, probably insincere。,此语源于农场。农场中热门有时候把一羣牲口用绳子拴起来，排成一行，以便让他们乖乖地听主人法号司令，从而行动一致。这些被拴起来的牲口就有一种被主人欺骗了的感觉，觉得自己上当受骗了。,2. 拓展例句,e.g. You are just stringing me along because you like to borrow my car.,你只是在欺骗我，因为你喜欢借我的车开。,e.g. You are not a real friend. Rachel strung her along for the sake of old times.,你们不是真心的朋友。Rachel看在旧时的情分上和她子一起过。,e.g. She took advantage of him, stringing him along even after they were divorced.,她利用了他，甚至离婚后还在欺骗他。
