【翻译】这个柜子很沉，而且很结实地被固定在墙上，所以呢，就有了一些连锁反应。
【适用场合】
ripple 本身指的是 涟漪；波浪；
那什么是ripple effect
其实就是连锁反应；连锁效应
当你在水中投入一个石头之后，这个涟漪会一直向外扩散，让整个水面都不再平静。
其实说到连锁反应，肯定很多人想到一个概念：蝴蝶效应 The Butterfly Effect
还有同名电影不知道你们都看过吗？
常见搭配用法是：to have/produce a ripple effect
产生连锁反应
If an event causes ripples, its effects gradually spread, causing several other events to happen one after the other.
eg: The problems of the auto industry have created economic ripples through the rest of the economy as well.
汽车行业出现的问题已经在其他经济产业中产生了连锁反应。
eg: His resignation will have a ripple effect on the whole department
他的辞职将会在整个部门引发连锁效应。
Please don’t tell on me.
拜托请别告发我。
tell on sb./sth. (informal)
1. 告状；告发；
to tell a person in authority about sth. bad that sb. has done
eg: We were worried he would tell on us, so we promised him $50 if he kept quiet.
我们很担心他会告发我们，所以我们达成一致：只要他保密，我们给他50美金。
其实之前在学习Modern Family的时候，在第363期节目中，我们也讲过向老师、领导告状的说法：
你可以说
sneak on sb. to sb.
那如果是发现了坏人犯罪，要扭送到公安局呢？
一般可以说turn sb. in
表达的意思是to take sb. to the police or sb. in authority because they have committed a crime:比如说：
eg: She threatened to turn him in to the police.
她威胁说要把他扭送到公安局。
eg: He decided to turn himself in.
他决定自首了。
2. 开始显露出一些负面作用

eg: The lack of sleep from having two young children is really telling on Charles lately.
由于需要照顾两个小宝宝而缺乏睡眠，最近Charles看起来疲惫不堪。
