英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)練習(xí)小對(duì)話 第67期:催促迫使
迷你對(duì)話：
A:Hurry up! Time is money!
快點(diǎn)!時(shí)間就是金錢。
B:Don't build a fire under me. I know the importance of time.
別催我，我知道時(shí)間的重要性。
A:But you are too slow to follow them.
但是你太慢了，跟不上他們。
B:Don't you see I'm trying my best?
你沒看見我正在盡力嗎?
地道表達(dá)：
build a fire under sb
小編講解：
buil是動(dòng)詞，有“構(gòu)成，形成，使成為”的意思，build fire就是“生火”的意思，build a fire under sb字面意思是“在某人的腳下點(diǎn)把火”，引申為“催促某人行動(dòng)起來”。
支持范例：
Eg.The landlord built a fire under the poor pesants for the debt.
地主催促可憐的農(nóng)民還債。
Eg.Don't build a fire under us for an answer to your request.
不要催促我答復(fù)你們的請(qǐng)求。
Eg.They are building a fire under them to take an action.
他們催促他采取行動(dòng)。
Eg.The boss built a fire under his emplyee to make an explaination to it.
