Hayley教口語(yǔ),“照章辦事”用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)?

2020-03-31 09:31:13  每日學(xué)英語(yǔ)
go by the book/do sth by the book

這里的book一般不會(huì)理解為“書”或者“預(yù)約”的意思,by the book這個(gè)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)里的book最初指的是圣經(jīng)。十九世紀(jì)早期,在英國(guó)法庭上,大家都要以圣經(jīng)的名義發(fā)誓講實(shí)話,或者說(shuō)是swear by the book。by the book后來(lái)就延伸為遵守規(guī)矩、照章辦事的意思了。前面一般會(huì)與go或者do等動(dòng)詞搭配使用。

to do something exactly as the rules tell you

照規(guī)矩辦事

My lawyer always goes strictly by the book.

我的律師一貫嚴(yán)守規(guī)矩辦事。
