slack作名詞表示 “(繩索的)松弛部分” ，這個單詞作形容詞有“松懈的”的意思，那cut someone some slack是“給……方便，對……網(wǎng)開一面，給……面子，放某人一馬，放過某人一次”。
【例句】
Cut her some slack. She just had a baby.
對她網(wǎng)開一面吧。她剛生小孩。
If you cut someone some slack, you are less critical of their behaviour or performance than usual because you know they are in a difficult situation.
如果你放某人一馬，你就不會像平常那樣對他們的行為或表現(xiàn)那么挑剔，因為你知道他們正處于困境之中。
