如果我們要表示“criticize sb all the time or nag sb all the time”，用地道美語(yǔ)這么說(shuō)：“to get on sb's case ”or “to be on sb's case”。中文意思是指手畫(huà)腳，嘮嘮叨叨。如果我們要說(shuō)“對(duì)......指手畫(huà)腳”“對(duì)......嘮嘮叨叨”，用get on sb's case或者是be on sb's case來(lái)表述一定是和介詞about連用，即：get ( be ) on sb's case about sth (doig sth)。

1. rather than conj.寧可 ... 也不愿, 與其 ... 倒不如 prep.而非...

Eg.
