不要把腳蹺在椅子上。

prop your feet up直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“把你的腿撐起來(lái)”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“把腳蹺在椅子上”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"Don't prop your feet up."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"You'd better keep a good sitting posture."、"Put your feet down from the chair."、"Don't put your feet on the chair or the desk."。

情景對(duì)白：
Benjamin: Terry, we have clients here. Don't prop your feet up. That's not polite.

本杰明：泰瑞，我們還有客戶在呢，別把腳蹺在椅子上!那樣不禮貌。

Terry: All right.

泰瑞：好的。

搭配句積累：
①We're having a meeting now.

我們正在開(kāi)會(huì)呢。

②Nobody is here. It's OK.

又沒(méi)有人在，沒(méi)關(guān)系的。

③It's none of your business.

又不關(guān)你的事。

④It's my place. Just leave me alone.

這是我的辦公室，別管我。

單詞：
1. prop vt. 支撐

He rocked back in the chair and propped his feet on the desk...

He propped his bike against the bus.

他把自行車靠在公共汽車上。

Taxpayers should not be expected to prop up any theaters or museums that cannot survive on a commercial basis.

納稅人的錢不是用來(lái)支持那些開(kāi)不下去的劇院和美術(shù)館的。

2. posture n. 姿勢(shì)

You can make your stomach look flatter instantly by improving your posture.

通過(guò)采取更好的坐姿，你的腹部馬上就會(huì)看起來(lái)平坦一些。

Exercise, fresh air, and good posture are all helpful.
