輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇 第40期:患難見真情
When push comes to shove, only your true friends will still stand by you.
當(dāng)事態(tài)嚴(yán)重時(shí)，只有真正的朋友還會(huì)支持你。
push和shove都是推的意思，但是shove的程度要更深一些，表示“用力推”。所以when puch comes toshove這個(gè)短語的意思是：“當(dāng)事態(tài)嚴(yán)重或情況危急時(shí)”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"When push comes to shove,only your true friends will still stand by you."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"When things becomeworse, only your true friends will support you."、"When you get into trouble, only your truefriends won't betray you."。
情景對(duì)白：
Terry: I know you are in trouble now, but I will do my best to help you at any time.
泰瑞：我知道你現(xiàn)在有麻煩，但是我在任何時(shí)候都會(huì)盡力去幫助你的。
Benjamin: I really appreciate that. When puch comes to shove, only your true friends will stillstand by you. That's so true.
本杰明：太感謝了。當(dāng)事態(tài)嚴(yán)重時(shí)，只有真正的朋友還會(huì)支持你。這句話說得真對(duì)啊!
