Hayley教口語(yǔ)，“歪曲(某人)的話”用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)？

?

to suggest that someone meant one thing when really they meant another

曲解(某人)的話，故意歪曲(某人)的話

實(shí)際上這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)發(fā)生的情況就是某人硬把ta認(rèn)為的你的話的意思安到你頭上，認(rèn)為你說(shuō)的話是ta理解的那個(gè)意思。有種替某人說(shuō)出你覺得別人應(yīng)該說(shuō)的話的意思，但往往情況都并不屬實(shí)。

Stop putting words in my mouth - I didn't say you looked fat in the red dress - I merely said you looked very slim in the black!

別曲解我的話——我并不是說(shuō)你穿紅色顯胖——我只是說(shuō)你穿黑色顯得非常苗條!

Colleague A: It is Friday afternoon and the boss said we could leave early on Friday.

現(xiàn)在是星期五下午，老板說(shuō)我們星期五可以早點(diǎn)下班。

Colleague B: Don't put words in her mouth. She said we could leave early on Friday if we had finished all our work. Is all your work finished?

別斷章取義。她說(shuō)如果我們完成了所有的工作，我們星期五就可以早點(diǎn)離開。你的工作都做完了嗎?

Colleague A: Not completely.

沒(méi)完全做完。

Colleague B: Then you had better stay and finish it.

那你最好留下來(lái)把它做完。
