不過你可以巴結(jié)巴結(jié)我。

kiss one's ass直譯過來就是：“親某人的屁股”，這個短語的正確意思是：“巴結(jié)某人”。因此，當美國人說"But you can kiss my ass."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"But you can try to curry favor with me."、"You can try your best to please me."。

Colleague: The manager told me to report everything to him. But you can kiss my ass.

同事：經(jīng)理吩咐我把一切都要向他報告。不過你可以巴結(jié)巴結(jié)我。
