聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 1011 Not?Have?a?Leg?to?Stand?on

 
2--Let's listen to my friends talking, and using this American idiom:
 
1--At first, the insurance company didn't believe me，when I said the driver ran the red light before hitting my car.
 
2--But, there's a video that clearly showed his car going through the red light.
 
1--Oh, in that case, he doesn't have a leg to stand on!
 
2--He's going to have to pay to fix your car.
 
1--Not having a leg to stand on means a person does not have any evidence to support his or her argument.
 
2--Without evidence, your argument does not stand up under questioning because, if you think about it, not having a leg would make it difficult to stand.

譯文：
 
1--今天欄目的內(nèi)容是一個(gè)與論點(diǎn)和腿有關(guān)的習(xí)語(yǔ)。站不住腳
2--大家一起聽(tīng)聽(tīng)我的朋友們是如何談?wù)摵褪褂眠@個(gè)美國(guó)習(xí)語(yǔ)的。
1--起初，保險(xiǎn)公司并不相信我，當(dāng)我說(shuō)司機(jī)闖了紅燈才撞到我的車(chē)時(shí)。
2--但是，當(dāng)時(shí)的監(jiān)控視頻清楚地顯示，他的車(chē)闖了紅燈。
1--哦，在那種情況下，司機(jī)說(shuō)的話(huà)就站不住腳了。
2--他將不得不支付你修車(chē)的錢(qián)。
1--站不住腳的意思是，一個(gè)人沒(méi)有任何證據(jù)來(lái)支撐他自己的論點(diǎn)。
2--沒(méi)有了證據(jù)，你的論點(diǎn)就不會(huì)站得住腳，在受到質(zhì)疑的情況下，這是因?yàn)?，?qǐng)你想想，沒(méi)有一條腿是很難站立的。
