本文和大家分享的口语表达是:funny business。funny是“有趣的,滑稽的”,business是“事情,生意”。两个单词放一起funny business 难道是“有趣的事情”? 如果你这样想,那可就大错特错了!
这个口语表达的意思是:“不道德的、非法的行为,不规矩的事,耍小把戏”。It means something that is suspicious and probably illegal or dishonest.
- His doing funny business made him lose face completely.
做的那些不道德的行为让他丢尽了脸面。 - - Do you know he is in hot water?
- 你知道他遇到麻烦了吗?
- I have no idea. Tell me about it.
- 我不知道呢,你和我说说。
- It is said that he was doing some funny business with local gangsters. So the cops caught him.
- 据说他当时正在和当地的一些小混混做非法的交易,所以警察就来把他抓走了。
下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句:
- The teacher won't stand for any funny business here.
老师不允许不道德的行为在此地发生。 - Now, behave yourself! I don't want any of your funny business.
听着,老实点!你别给我耍花招。 - If there's any funny business whatsoever, I'm backing out of this deal.
如果有任何可以的问题,我们都会退出交易。
