The Intern

向上滑动查看字幕

Matt seems like a terrific guy.

Hmm?

Oh, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt.

Uh, that's okay.

I agree. He is.

Who? The Dad?

That's what the other kids call Matt because he's the only dad in a sea of moms.

I've read about these househusbands.

It's interesting how that all worked just now.

They actually prefer to be called stay-at-home dads.

Oh, sorry. Did not know that.

Well, it's very admirable.

He's a real 21 st century father.

He is.

He actually had a great job in marketing, but, um, when About The Fit took off, he left to be a full-time dad.

Totally saved our butts.

Oh! We're here, big girl.


今日学习:save my butt/ass

save my butt/ass

save my butt/ass

①当你即将面临或已经面临很糟糕的局面,有人或有什么事救了你的时候,我们会有这个表达。所以,save my butt/ass可以表示 “帮了我个大忙” “救了我的命”


You saved my ass ! Love you!

你真是 帮我了个大忙 ,爱你~


② 此外, save your ass 还可以表示 “帮你擦屁股,帮你收拾烂摊子”


比如,老板告诫你

You have to save your own ass. Don't rely on anyone else.

你自己的烂摊子自己收拾 ,谁也别指望!


“ass” 专题拓展

bite in the ass

这是一个俚语

bite sb. in the ass 表示:自食其果

和我们中文的“搬起石头砸自己的脚”一个意思


例:警告别人

If you insist on doing so, you'll bite yourself in the ass.

如果你坚持这么做,你必定会 搬起石头砸自己的脚。


pain in the ass/butt

pain in the ass 可以表示某件事很烦人,延伸意思却是 “眼中钉,肉中刺”,指令人讨厌的人。


Writing a post every day is really a pain in the ass.

每天写文 真是太烦人了。


Crying baby is a real pain in the ass.

哭闹的孩子真是 让人讨厌!


kiss one's ass

英释:to be very nice to someone in order to get an advantage

即:拍某人马屁;奉承某人 ,也就是现在很流行的 “彩虹屁”


He is always kissing the manager's ass.

他总是 拍经理的马屁。
