brush off 敷衍
Dear all,
你一定知道brush (v.)刷,但是你知道brush off是什麼意思嗎? 請看以下的場景。
1.
A: I commented on her new post,
but she brushed off my message.
B: Maybe she didn’t see it.
A: 我在她的新貼文留言,但她不理我的留言。
B: 大概她沒有看到吧。
2.
A: Did you ask Jenny about joining
the program?
B: Yes, but she just brushed me
off. She said she was busy but didn’t really explain.
A: 你有問Jenny要不要參加這個課程嗎?
B: 有,但是她只是敷衍我,她說她很忙,但也沒有真的解釋。
3.
A: Are you brushing me off?
B: No, I am not brushing you off. I am
just really busy right now.
A: 你在敷衍我?
B: 沒有,我沒有在敷衍你,我只是真的很忙。
這裡的brush off是敷衍或是不理會,你會了嗎?
