我们用 monkey business 来描述不正当行为、胡闹。这个短语也能用来表达那些不诚实或违规的行为。
- Two policemen showed up on my neighbour's doorstep this morning. I've always suspected there's been some monkey business going on in the house.
- Stop this monkey business! You should pay attention in class!
值得注意的是,not giving a monkey's about something 的意思是对一件事情漠不关心。
- I don't give a monkey's if my ex-boyfriend is getting married or not.
